7223.00.10.05 - Spring round wire of a kind described in statistical note 8 to this chapter 🖩

This HTS category, 7223.00.10.05, specifically classifies round wire made from stainless steel, which also meets the criteria outlined in Statistical Note 8 to Chapter 72. This note typically refers to specific applications or properties, such as wire intended for springs or those possessing particular tensile strengths or finishes, distinguishing it from general stainless steel wire. The "Spring round wire" designation in the description indicates that the primary intended use of this wire is in the manufacture of springs, a critical factor in its classification.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, ": Other:", is crucial. While the sibling category would encompass any stainless steel round wire that does not meet the specific requirements of Statistical Note 8 or the intended use for springs, this category is narrowly defined for spring wire. Therefore, if the wire is not suitable for spring production or does not conform to the specified statistical note, it would fall under the broader "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this HTS code. Classification terminates at this level, meaning that any product meeting the precise definition of stainless steel round wire intended for springs, as defined by the statistical note, will be assigned this specific code. Practical classification will rely on verifying the material composition of stainless steel, the round cross-section, and evidence of its suitability or intended use for spring manufacturing, often supported by supplier declarations or technical specifications.
