Galvanized Steel Expanded Metal Sheet
A sheet of expanded metal made from galvanized steel wire, featuring diamond-shaped openings created by slitting and stretching the sheet. It falls under HTS 7314.50.00.00 as expanded metal of iron or steel, distinct from woven cloth or grill due to its expansion process.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used as fabricated grating for industrial platforms
Assembled expanded metal into structural gratings shifts to Chapter 73 structures rather than raw expanded metal.
If welded into grill or mesh panels
Welded wire assemblies are classified as grills under 7314.41, not plain expanded metal.
If not expanded but flat-rolled with perforations
Perforated flat-rolled steel falls under Chapter 72 flat products, lacking the slitting/stretching expansion.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the expansion process and wire dimensions (under 16mm) to confirm classification under Chapter 73 wire products
• Provide mill test reports certifying steel composition and galvanization to avoid misclassification as non-expanded sheet metal
• Check for anti-dumping duties on galvanized steel from specific countries like China or Mexico
