7217.30.15.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7217.30.15.60, encompasses "Other" flat wire of iron or nonalloy steel that has been plated or coated with base metals other than zinc, aluminum, nickel, chromium, copper, or tin. This means it includes flat wire meeting the general specifications of Chapter 72 and heading 7217, but with coatings of precious metals or less common base metals, as well as combinations of base metals not specifically enumerated elsewhere in this subgroup.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling, 7217.30.15.30, which specifically covers flat wire containing by weight 0.6 percent or more of carbon. This category, 7217.30.15.60, applies to flat wire with a carbon content *below* 0.6 percent by weight, provided it is plated or coated with base metals not otherwise specified. The distinction hinges on both the chemical composition (carbon content) and the specific type of plating or coating.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 7217.30.15.60 therefore relies on a thorough examination of the material's composition, specifically its carbon content and the nature of any plating or coating applied to the flat iron or nonalloy steel wire.
