HS-4 · Heading
7229 — Wire of other alloy steel
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7229 when importing or exporting wire made from alloy steel, such as silico-manganese steel used in manufacturing automotive parts. This classification helps ensure compliance with customs regulations.
When deciding between the HS-6 lines under this heading, consider the material composition. HS-6 722920 specifically covers wire made from silico-manganese steel, commonly used for its strength and durability. In contrast, HS-6 722990 applies to wire made from other alloy steel materials, which can include various alloy compositions.
If your wire is primarily used in construction or industrial applications, it’s essential to identify the correct subheading. For instance, if the wire is produced from a unique alloy not classified as silico-manganese, you would classify it under HS-6 722990.
