7223.00.10.61 - With a diameter of 1.52 mm or more but less than 5.1 mm

This HTS classification pertains to round wire made of stainless steel that falls within a specific diameter range. Specifically, it covers stainless steel wire with a diameter measuring 1.52 millimeters or more, but not exceeding 5.1 millimeters. This designation is crucial for accurate import and export declarations, ensuring that the correct duties and regulations are applied. The material composition is stainless steel, and the cross-sectional shape is round.

The distinguishing feature of this category is its precise diameter specification, which sets it apart from its sibling entries. For instance, it is differentiated from wire with smaller diameters, such as those less than 0.25 mm, between 0.25 mm and 0.76 mm, or between 0.76 mm and 1.52 mm. Conversely, it is also distinct from stainless steel wire with larger diameters, which are classified under categories for wire 5.1 mm or more. This granular differentiation by diameter is a primary criterion for classification within this specific HTS code.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for stainless steel round wire meeting the specified diameter of 1.52 mm to 5.1 mm. Importers and exporters should ensure all physical characteristics, including material and precise diameter, align with this description to avoid misclassification. This level of detail ensures that trade statistics are accurate and that compliance with relevant trade agreements and customs procedures is maintained.
