7616.99.51.75 - Articles of wire

This HTS category, 7616.99.51.75, encompasses a diverse range of articles manufactured from aluminum wire that do not fit into more specific classifications. These items are characterized by their construction from drawn or extruded aluminum wire, which may be shaped, bent, or woven into various forms. Examples within this category can include, but are not limited to, aluminum wire mesh for industrial screens, aluminum wire fasteners such as rivets or pins (if not classifiable elsewhere), small aluminum wire components for machinery, or decorative items made from aluminum wire that do not possess a specific trade designation. The key criterion for inclusion is that the primary component and defining structural element of the article is aluminum wire.

This specific subheading is distinguished from its sibling, 7616.99.51.90, by the absence of a further defining characteristic or specific product type indicated by the terminal digits. While both fall under "Other" articles of aluminum wire, this node represents a residual classification for items that lack any distinct sub-classification within the broader "articles of wire" group. Therefore, 7616.99.51.75 serves as a catch-all for aluminum wire articles that are not otherwise specified or enumerated at a more granular level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this classification. This means that any article meeting the criteria of being an aluminum wire article and not fitting into any more specific heading or subheading will ultimately be classified under 7616.99.51.75. Importers and exporters should thoroughly examine the construction and intended use of their aluminum wire articles to ensure no more precise classification exists before resorting to this general residual category.
