Product classification
HS code for Galvanized wire mesh: 7314.41
Iron or steel wire, grill, netting and fencing, plated or coated with zinc.
Classification of galvanized wire mesh under HS 7314.41
Galvanized wire mesh is classified under HS code 7314.41, moving the product from the raw material categories of Chapter 72 into the manufactured articles of Chapter 73. Heading 7314 covers cloth, grill, netting, and fencing made of iron or steel wire. The subheading 7314.41 specifically identifies products that are plated or coated with zinc. The classification logic here is based on the fact that the wire has been worked into a mesh or grill structure, which is a significant advancement in the manufacturing process compared to simple wire. The plated or coated with zinc specification ensures that galvanized versions are distinguished from plastic-coated or bare steel meshes. This code includes a wide variety of products used in construction, such as reinforcement mesh, and in agriculture, such as livestock fencing. The classification is determined by the physical form of the finished article and the nature of its protective coating. It is important to note that if the mesh is welded at the intersections, it might be considered under 7314.31, depending on the specific manufacturing technique and the timing of the galvanization process.

Codes often confused with 7314.41
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 7314.31, which is specifically for wire mesh that is welded at the intersections and galvanized. It is also confused with 7217.20, which is the code for the raw galvanized wire before it is made into mesh.
Top exporters and importers of HS 731441 (the code used for galvanized wire mesh), 2025

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).
