HS Code for Coated wire fence

Classification of coated wire fence under HS code 7314.49 is determined by the material composition and the specific type of coating applied to the iron or steel substrate. Heading 7314 encompasses a wide range of products including cloth, grill, netting, and fencing made from iron or steel wire. Within this heading, the classification is further subdivided based on the manufacturing process and the surface treatment. Subheading 7314.49 is a residual category for wire products that have been coated with materials other than zinc or plastics. This includes coatings such as copper, aluminum, tin, or various types of paint and lacquer. The General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System require that products be classified according to the most specific description; since 7314.41 is reserved for zinc-coated and 7314.42 for plastic-coated, all other coated varieties of iron or steel fencing fall here.

Products Included

• Copper-coated steel mesh fencing
• Painted iron wire garden fencing
• Aluminum-clad steel wire netting
• Ceramic-coated industrial wire screens
• Tin-plated steel wire grill

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with 7314.41, which is strictly for products coated with zinc (galvanized). It is also often misclassified under 7314.42, which is reserved for wire fencing coated with plastics. If the fencing is made of stainless steel, it must be classified under 7314.12 or 7314.14, regardless of the coating.
