HS Code 7314.41 – Iron or steel wire; grill, netting and fencing, plated or coated with zinc
HS code 7314.41 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or steel wire, grill, netting and fencing, plated or coated with zinc. It is used for galvanized chain-link fence, zinc-coated hexagonal wire netting, galvanized woven field fence, galvanized barbed wire and galvanized woven mesh.
What HS 7314.41 covers
This HS code identifies iron or steel wire grills, netting, and fencing that are plated or coated with zinc, but are *not* welded at the intersection. This distinction is crucial, as it typically refers to woven or twisted wire products, such as chain-link fences, hexagonal netting (chicken wire), or woven field fencing, all benefiting from the corrosion protection of a zinc coating. These products are extensively used in agriculture for animal enclosures, in residential and commercial settings for perimeter security, and in construction for erosion control or plaster reinforcement. Importers include agricultural nations, developing countries investing in infrastructure, and regions with high demand for durable, weather-resistant fencing solutions. Exporters are generally countries with strong steel wire drawing and galvanizing capabilities. Key trading considerations include the type of weave (e.g., chain-link, hexagonal), wire gauge, mesh size, and the thickness of the zinc coating, which directly impacts the product's lifespan and cost. Understanding the specific application and environmental conditions is vital for selecting the correct product within 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).
