HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 7314.39 – Iron or steel wire; grill, netting and fencing, welded at the intersection, n.e.c. in item no. 7314.20, (other than plated or coated with zinc)
HS code 7314.39 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or steel wire, grill, netting and fencing, welded at the intersection, n.e.c. in item no. 7314.20, (other than plated or coated with zinc). It is used for uncoated welded wire mesh, painted welded security fence, PVC-coated welded mesh, black welded utility panels and welded reinforcing fabric (uncoated).
What HS 7314.39 covers
This HS code covers iron or steel wire grills, netting, and fencing that are welded at their intersections but are not plated or coated with zinc. This category includes products that might be uncoated, painted, or coated with other materials like PVC, but specifically excludes zinc-galvanized items. These materials are widely used in applications where corrosion resistance is less critical, or where other types of coatings are preferred for aesthetic or specific functional reasons. Common uses include general construction, temporary fencing, and various industrial applications. Importers often seek these products for their cost-effectiveness compared to galvanized alternatives, or for specific projects requiring non-zinc coatings. Exporters are typically countries with robust steel production and fabrication industries. Traders should pay close attention to the specific type of coating (if any), wire gauge, and mesh size, as these details dictate the product's suitability for different end-uses and its market value. Understanding regional preferences for specific coatings or finishes is also crucial for successful international trade in this category.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
