Overview
This HTS category, 7217, encompasses wire manufactured from iron or non-alloy steel. It is a crucial classification within Section XV, which deals with base metals and their articles, specifically falling under Chapter 72 concerning iron and steel. The scope includes a wide array of wire forms, provided they are made of the specified iron or non-alloy steel compositions.
Distinguishing 7217 from its sibling categories at the HTS database root level is essential for accurate classification. While siblings might cover live animals, agricultural products, or other diverse goods, 7217 is exclusively dedicated to metallic wire products. This focus on a specific material (iron or non-alloy steel) and product type (wire) sets it apart from any other category at this broad organizational level.
Within 7217, further subdivisions are provided to classify wire based on its surface treatment. The subcategories, such as "Not plated or coated, whether or not polished," "Plated or coated with zinc," and "Plated or coated with other base metals," allow for precise identification based on whether the wire has undergone any surface finishing or coating. The "Other" category serves as a residual provision for any wire that does not fit the preceding descriptions. The mention of "STAINLESS STEEL" indicates that within this chapter, specific subheadings are dedicated to stainless steel wire, implying a further level of detailed classification beyond the general 7217 code.
