7314.49 - Other:

This HTS category, 7314.49, encompasses various forms of grill, netting, and fencing made from iron or steel wire, excluding those that are plated or coated with zinc (7314.41) or coated with plastics (7314.42). The "Other" designation signifies that this classification applies to products that do not fit the more specific coating criteria of its sibling categories. These items are characterized by their construction from iron or steel wire woven, welded, or otherwise formed into open mesh structures.

The key distinction for classification under 7314.49 lies in the absence of zinc plating or plastic coating. Products classified here are typically bare iron or steel wire mesh, or those with other types of coatings not explicitly defined in the sibling categories. Examples could include galvanized (other than zinc-coated as per 7314.41), painted, or otherwise treated wire fencing and netting that does not meet the specific criteria of the other subheadings within 7314.4.

Within this "Other" category, further distinctions are made based on the form in which the grill, netting, or fencing is presented. Subcategory 7314.49.30.00 covers materials that are not cut to a specific shape, such as continuous rolls of netting or fencing. Conversely, 7314.49.60.00 applies to items that have been manufactured or cut to a defined shape, potentially for specific applications like custom fencing panels or pre-formed mesh for construction or agricultural purposes.
