HS Code for Steel fencing panels

Steel fencing panels are classified under HS code 7314.20, which specifically addresses welded wire grill, netting, and fencing. This code is unique because it sets very specific physical dimensions that must be met for the product to be included. The wire used in the panel must have a maximum cross-sectional dimension (usually the diameter) of 3mm or more. Furthermore, the mesh size—defined as the area of the individual openings within the grid—must be 100cm² or more. These panels are created by laying wires across each other and welding them at every intersection, creating a rigid and durable structure. This type of fencing is commonly used in high-security environments, industrial sites, and as reinforcement in concrete. The classification under 7314.20 is restricted to the panels themselves. If the panels are imported as part of a complete kit that includes posts, tensioners, and gates, customs authorities may classify the entire shipment as a prefabricated structure under 7308.90. The material must be iron or steel wire, which can be galvanized or plastic-coated. The welding process is the defining characteristic; woven or expanded metal products are excluded from this specific subheading and are found elsewhere in heading 7314. Accurate measurement of both the wire gauge and the mesh opening size is critical for compliance with this code.

Products Included

• Welded wire fencing panels (3mm+ wire)
• Heavy-duty security mesh sections
• Reinforced wire grids for construction
• Industrial partition panels made of welded wire

Common Misclassification

If the wire diameter is less than 3mm or the mesh size is smaller than 100cm², the product is classified under 7314.31. If the fencing is woven rather than welded, it falls under 7314.14 or 7314.41 depending on the coating.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Steel fencing panels?

The HS code for welded steel wire fencing panels with wire 3mm or thicker and mesh size 100cm² or larger is 7314.20.

Does this include plastic-coated fencing?

Yes, as long as the core material is iron or steel wire and it meets the welding and dimension requirements.
