HS Code for Wire grill

The classification of wire grills under HS code 7314.20 is determined by the material composition and the specific manufacturing process. This code specifically covers products made of iron or steel wire that are welded at their intersections. To qualify for this specific subheading, the wire must have a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 3 mm or more, and the mesh size must be at least 100 cm². This classification is part of the broader category for cloth, grill, netting, and fencing of iron or steel wire. The welding at the intersections is a critical technical requirement that distinguishes these products from woven or expanded metal products. These grills are typically used in industrial settings, heavy-duty shelving, or structural reinforcements where the strength of welded intersections is required. If the wire is thinner or the mesh is smaller, the product may fall under different subheadings within heading 7314. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the steel is galvanized or coated, provided the physical dimensions and welding criteria are met.

Products Included

• Welded wire mesh panels
• Heavy-duty industrial wire grills
• Reinforced steel wire fencing
• Welded wire partitions
• Machine safety guards made of welded wire

Common Misclassification

Wire grills are frequently confused with HS code 7314.31, which covers smaller mesh sizes or thinner wire that has been plated or coated with zinc. Additionally, finished consumer goods like BBQ grills are often misclassified here; however, they belong under 7321.90 if they are parts of cooking appliances or 7323.99 if they are considered general kitchenware. Another common error involves expanded metal (7314.50), which is made by slitting and stretching a sheet rather than welding individual wires.

FAQ

What is the HS code for wire grill?

The HS code for wire grill welded at the intersections with a wire dimension of 3mm+ and mesh size of 100cm2+ is 7314.20.

Does this include BBQ grills?

No, finished BBQ grills are usually classified under 7321 as cooking appliances or 7323 as kitchenware, depending on their design and function.
