7314.31.50.10 - Welded wire stucco netting, furred, not reinforced with supplemental horizontal wire

This HTS classification covers welded wire stucco netting specifically designed for use as a backing or reinforcement material in plaster and stucco applications. The key defining characteristic of this subheading is that the netting is furred, meaning it incorporates small protrusions or ribs that create a gap between the netting and the substrate, allowing for better adhesion and embedding of the stucco. Crucially, this netting is not reinforced with any additional supplemental horizontal wire beyond the standard welded structure of the netting itself.

This specific subheading, 7314.31.50.10, is distinguished from its sibling, 7314.31.50.80 ("Other"), by the explicit requirement of being "furred" and the exclusion of supplemental horizontal wire reinforcement. While both fall under the broader category of welded grill, netting, and fencing plated or coated with zinc, the "furred" aspect is a critical distinguishing feature for stucco applications, indicating a specific design to facilitate plaster bonding and dimensional stability. The "Other" category would encompass similarly constructed welded wire mesh that does not possess these specific furring features.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification of goods falling under this description. Importers and exporters should ensure that the stucco netting they are classifying meets the criteria of being welded wire, coated with zinc, furred, and notably, not reinforced with additional horizontal wires.
