Overview
This HTS category, 7314.39.00.00, encompasses wire mesh, netting, fencing, and expanded metal products made from iron or steel, specifically those that are welded at the intersections and are not plated or coated with zinc. The primary characteristic defining this classification is the welding of the wire intersections, which creates a rigid structure. Products in this category are generally used for containment, protection, or structural reinforcement, such as certain types of industrial fencing, protective grates, or reinforcing mesh.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7314.31, which specifically covers welded grill, netting, and fencing that have been plated or coated with zinc. Therefore, if a welded iron or steel wire product exhibits any form of zinc plating or coating, it would fall under 7314.31 and not this residual category. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and regulatory compliance.
As a leaf node within the HTS, 7314.39.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Classification into this heading relies on identifying the material (iron or steel wire), the construction method (welded intersections), and the absence of zinc plating or coating. Examples could include plain steel wire fencing used in agricultural settings or industrial safety barriers where corrosion resistance through galvanization is not a primary requirement.
