Overview

This HTS category, 7217.10, encompasses wire manufactured from iron or non-alloy steel that has not undergone any plating or coating process. The description "Not plated or coated, whether or not polished" signifies that the surface treatment is absent, although mechanical polishing to improve surface finish is permissible within this designation. This wire is primarily used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications where the inherent properties of iron or non-alloy steel are desired without the protective or decorative benefits of metallic coatings.

Distinguishing 7217.10 from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike 7217.20, which covers wire coated with zinc, or 7217.30, which includes wire coated with other base metals, this category specifically excludes such surface treatments. It also differs from the "Other" category (7217.90), which serves as a residual category for wire not specifically described elsewhere within the 7217 heading. Furthermore, the "STAINLESS STEEL" designation at the same level refers to a different material composition.

Within the scope of 7217.10, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on carbon content. The subcategories, such as "Containing by weight less than 0.25 percent of carbon" and "Other," allow for a more precise categorization of the iron or non-alloy steel wire. This differentiation is often based on the material's mechanical properties, which are influenced by its carbon composition, and impacts its suitability for various end-uses and potential tariff implications.
