7312.10.10.70 - Other

This HTS code, 7312.10.10.70, covers "Other" stranded wire made of iron or steel. This residual category encompasses stranded wire not specifically classified under other subheadings within 7312.10.10. Generally, this refers to wire formed by twisting together multiple individual strands of iron or steel to create a composite cord or rope.

It's important to distinguish this "Other" category from its siblings. HTS 7312.10.10.30 specifically designates "Tire cord," which is a specialized stranded wire designed for reinforcing tires. Additionally, HTS 7312.10.10.50 covers stranded wire with a specific lay or twist characteristic, defined as not exceeding 1 revolution for a length equal to the strand diameter multiplied by 8.5. Therefore, 7312.10.10.70 applies to all other types of stranded iron or steel wire that do not meet the criteria for tire cord or the specific lay/twist definition in the preceding sibling category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 7312.10.10.70. Classification within this heading is determined by the material (iron or steel), the construction (stranded wire, rope, or cable), and by exclusion from more specific descriptions within the same level. The primary determinant for this specific code is the absence of classification under tire cord or the precisely defined lay/twist parameters.
