Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing 0.3% or more carbon
Wire with higher carbon content classifying as stainless steel wire under heading 7223, per Chapter 72 note distinctions for stainless vs other alloys.
If not alloy steel
Stranded or twisted wire of iron or non-alloy steel falls under Chapter 73 stranded wire heading.
If square or rectangular cross-section
Chapter 72 notes specify round wire under 'other wire'; flat-rolled in rectangular form may shift to different subheading.
