Overview
This HTS category, 7314.20.00.00, specifically covers grill, netting, and fencing constructed from iron or steel wire. The defining characteristics for classification within this code are twofold: the wire itself must possess a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 3 millimeters or more, and the resulting mesh must have an area of 100 square centimeters or more. The welding of the wire at the intersections is also a crucial element for inclusion here, distinguishing it from other forms of netting and fencing.
Within the broader heading 7314, this category differentiates itself from woven cloth (7314.14) and expanded metal (7314.50) by its construction method – welded wire at intersections – and its specific mesh and wire dimensions. It also stands apart from "other grill, netting and fencing" (which would encompass non-welded variants or those not meeting the specific wire/mesh criteria) and "other grill, netting and fencing, welded at the intersection" (which would likely refer to products with different wire thickness or mesh size parameters).
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within 7314.20.00.00. Classification to this specific code therefore hinges entirely on meeting the stated physical specifications of wire thickness and mesh size, alongside the welded construction, to ensure accurate customs declarations and duty assessments for these robust iron or steel wire mesh products.
