7313.00.00.00 - Barbed wire of iron or steel; twisted hoop or single flat wire, barbed or not, and loosely twisted double wire, of a kind used for fencing, of iron or steel

This HTS category, 7313.00.00.00, specifically covers barbed wire and similar wire products manufactured from iron or steel, intended for fencing purposes. This includes various forms such as barbed wire, twisted hoop wire (whether barbed or not), single flat wire used for fencing, and loosely twisted double wire. The defining characteristic is their application in creating barriers or enclosures, distinguishing them from general wire or wire not designed for this specific function.

As a leaf node within the HTS system, there are no further subcategories under 7313.00.00.00. Therefore, the classification hinges on accurately identifying the physical characteristics and intended use of the iron or steel wire product. If an iron or steel wire product is not barbed or twisted for fencing, or if its primary purpose is different (e.g., for industrial use, construction reinforcement, or artistic fabrication), it would be classified elsewhere within Chapter 73 or other relevant HTS sections. The key criteria for classification under this heading are the material (iron or steel), the form (barbed, twisted hoop, flat, or loosely twisted double wire), and the explicit purpose of use in fencing.
