Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 721720 when importing or exporting wire made of iron or non-alloy steel that is plated or coated with zinc. For example, if you're shipping galvanized wire used for fencing, this is the code to use.
This code specifically covers wire products that have a zinc coating, which helps prevent rust and corrosion. In contrast, if you're dealing with plain steel wire without any coating, you would look at HS-6 721710 instead.
Wire classified under 721720 can vary in thickness and is often used in construction, agriculture, and manufacturing. For instance, wire used for tying rebar or for use in various types of mesh would fall under this category.
When considering similar products, be aware that HS-6 721730 covers wire that is coated with other materials, such as plastic, which has different applications and classification requirements.
