Overview
This HTS category, 7314.41.00.30, specifically classifies chain link fencing made from iron or steel wire that has been plated or coated with zinc. Chain link fencing is characterized by its diamond-shaped mesh pattern, formed by interlocking galvanized wires. Its primary function is for security and containment in a wide range of applications, including residential yards, commercial properties, and sports fields.
This classification distinguishes itself from other "other grill, netting and fencing" at this level based on its specific form and finishing. While siblings like woven wire stucco netting and "other" fencing fall under the broader umbrella of iron or steel wire fencing, this category precisely targets the distinct construction and zinc coating of chain link fence. The presence of the zinc plating is a key distinguishing factor, offering corrosion resistance and extending the product's lifespan.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7314.41.00.30 is definitive for articles meeting the description of chain link fencing with zinc plating. Importers and exporters should ensure their goods are accurately identified as chain link construction and that the zinc coating is confirmed to properly assign this HTS code.
