HS Code for Iron wire products

Iron wire products are classified under HS code 732620. This code is located in Chapter 73, which covers articles of iron or steel. Heading 7326 is a residual or "basket" category for articles of iron or steel that are not specifically mentioned in other headings of the chapter. Subheading 732620 is specifically designated for articles made of iron or steel wire. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6, classification is determined by the material (iron or steel) and the form (wire). Wire is defined in the HS nomenclature as cold-formed products in coils, with any cross-sectional shape, where the maximum cross-sectional dimension does not exceed 16 mm. To fall under 732620, the product must be a finished or semi-finished article where the wire has been bent, twisted, welded, or otherwise shaped into a specific functional item. This code is used when the article does not have a more specific heading, such as those for springs, nails, or fencing. The manufacturing process usually involves mechanical wire-forming machines that create items for industrial, agricultural, or domestic use. Because it is a residual code, it covers a vast array of diverse products, making it one of the most frequently used codes for miscellaneous hardware.

Common Misclassification

Iron wire products are often misclassified under 7314, which covers cloth, grill, netting, and fencing made of wire. If the product is a continuous mesh or screen, 7314 is correct; if it is a discrete article, 732620 is preferred. They are also confused with 7323 (household articles) if the wire product is a kitchen tool. Furthermore, if the wire is simply coiled and not made into an article, it should be classified in Chapter 72 (e.g., 7217).
