Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7312.10.10Same rate: 35%

If diameter exceeds 16 mm

Chapter notes limit 'wire' classification to cross-sections ≤16 mm; larger diameters classify as rope or cable.

7310.10.00Same rate: 35%

If formed into refillable stainless steel keg structures

Special statistical notes define keg components differently, but steel strand for prestressing remains in 7312.

7326.90.86Higher: 37.9% vs 35%

If imported as part of complete prestressed concrete articles

Prestressing wire embedded in finished concrete products falls under other steel articles.

Import Tips & Compliance

Specify 'low relaxation' type (relaxation ≤2.5% at 1000 hours) in documentation; ensure strand weighs over 2.5 kg/m to qualify for prestressing specs; check country-of-origin markings as some producers face special tariffs
