Overview
This classification covers wire of iron or nonalloy steel that has been coated with plastics. The plastic coating can serve various purposes, such as providing electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, or a decorative finish. Examples include plastic-coated steel wire used for fencing, cable jacketing, or specialized industrial applications where the plastic layer is an integral part of the product's function and construction.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7217.90.50, which is designated for "Other" wire of iron or nonalloy steel. While 7217.90.10.00 specifically addresses plastic-coated wire, the "Other" category encompasses all other types of wire of iron or nonalloy steel not otherwise specified within the 7217.90 subheading, such as ungalvanized, unplated, or uncoated wire, or wire coated with materials other than plastic.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 7217.90.10.00 hinges on the definitive presence of a plastic coating on wire of iron or nonalloy steel. The nature, thickness, or method of application of the plastic coating are not typically differentiating factors within this specific code, as long as a plastic coating is present.
