Overview
This HTS classification, 7217.10.80.60, specifically covers wire made from iron or non-alloy steel that is not plated or coated, and has undergone a polishing process. The defining characteristic of this category is its diameter, which must be less than 1.0 mm. This indicates very fine wire utilized in a variety of applications where thinness is a critical physical property.
The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the wire's diameter. Category 7217.10.80.75 covers wire with diameters ranging from 1.0 mm up to, but not including, 1.5 mm, while 7217.10.80.90 encompasses wire with diameters of 1.5 mm and larger. Therefore, accurate measurement of the wire's diameter is paramount for correct classification within these closely related subheadings.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. This means that once a wire meets the criteria of being iron or non-alloy steel, not plated or coated, polished, containing 0.6% or more carbon, and having a diameter less than 1.0 mm, it is definitively classified under this specific code. Examples of such wire might include fine gauge wire for electronic components, specialized braiding, or precision springs.
