Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7313 when importing barbed wire or twisted wire made of iron or steel, commonly used for fencing. For example, if you're shipping a roll of barbed wire for agricultural fencing, this code applies directly.

When deciding between HS-6 lines, note that 731300 specifically covers barbed wire and twisted wire types. If your product is a single strand of flat wire without barbs, it may not fit here, so careful classification is essential.

If your shipment includes loosely twisted double wire for fencing, it still falls under HS-6 731300. However, ensure that the wire meets the criteria of being made of iron or steel to avoid misclassification.
