7217.10.30.00 - Of a thickness exceeding 1.25 mm

This HTS subcategory, 7217.10.30.00, specifically classifies wire of iron or nonalloy steel that is not plated or coated, whether or not polished, and contains less than 0.25 percent carbon by weight. The defining characteristic of this classification is that the wire has a flat cross-section and exhibits a thickness exceeding 1.25 mm. This means the material is distinctly thicker than other flat wires within the same primary category.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its siblings. While all fall under flat wire of nonalloy steel that is not plated or coated, 7217.10.10.00 covers those with a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm, and 7217.10.20.00 encompasses flat wire with a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm but not exceeding 1.25 mm. Therefore, 7217.10.30.00 is exclusively for the thicker variants of this specific type of steel wire.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level based on the material, absence of plating/coating, carbon content, flat shape, and the specific thickness parameter of exceeding 1.25 mm. Examples of goods that would fall here include certain types of industrial flat wire used in manufacturing processes where robustness and a specific dimension are paramount, and no surface treatment has been applied.
