Overview
This classification covers stranded wire made from iron or steel, excluding electrically insulated types. It specifically encompasses wire with a lay or twist characterized by a specific ratio: the length of one full revolution of the twist does not exceed eight and a half times the diameter of the individual strands. This precise geometric property is a key determinant for inclusion in this subcategory.
Unlike its sibling, "Tire cord" (7312.10.30.05), which is specifically designed for reinforcing tires, this category is for a broader range of stranded wire applications. It also differs from stranded wire intended "For prestressing concrete," which is engineered for structural reinforcement in concrete applications. The "Other" designation signifies that this is a residual category for stranded wire that does not fit into the more specifically defined sibling categories.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying stranded wire based on its construction and material, ensuring it meets the specified twist ratio and is not otherwise specially categorized. Examples of goods that might fall here include certain types of general-purpose wire rope or specially twisted strands for industrial use not otherwise specified.
