Overview
This HTS classification, 7312.10.30.80, covers "Other" stranded wire of iron or steel, not electrically insulated. This category is the most granular subdivision for stranded wire that does not fit into more specific "Galvanized" subcategories. It encompasses a broad range of stranded wire products where the primary characteristic is being composed of multiple iron or steel strands twisted or braided together. These wires are not typically designed for electrical insulation purposes.
To differentiate this category from its sibling, "Galvanized," it's crucial to note the absence of a zinc coating. Galvanized stranded wire falls under the separate sibling category due to the specific protective and aesthetic properties imparted by the zinc plating. Therefore, this "Other" category applies to stranded wire that is bare, coated with materials other than zinc, or has undergone surface treatments not classified as galvanization.
As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific HTS code relies on confirming that the product is indeed stranded wire of iron or steel, not electrically insulated, and does not meet the criteria for any more specific preceding categories, particularly the "Galvanized" sibling. Examples might include non-galvanized steel cable used for general rigging, tensioning, or as component parts in various mechanical assemblies where rust protection is addressed through other means or not a primary concern.
