Overview
This HTS category, 7314.42.00.30, specifically covers chain link fencing manufactured from iron or steel wire and coated with plastics. Chain link fencing, also known as diamond mesh, is characterized by its interwoven diamond-shaped pattern. The plastic coating serves a dual purpose: it enhances corrosion resistance, prolonging the lifespan of the fencing, and can also provide aesthetic benefits. Examples include fencing used for residential yards, sports fields, security perimeters, and containment areas, where durability and protection against the elements are paramount.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7314.42.00.60 ("Other"), by the specific inclusion of chain link fencing. While the "Other" category would encompass other types of iron or steel wire netting and fencing that are coated with plastics but do not have the characteristic chain link construction, this code is dedicated solely to the diamond mesh variety.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7314.42.00.30 depends on meeting the explicit criteria of being chain link fencing made of iron or steel wire that has been coated with plastics. The material of the wire (iron or steel) and the presence of a plastic coating are the key determinants for proper classification.
