About heading 7217
Wire of iron or nonalloy steel
Heading 7217 covers wire of iron or nonalloy steel, meaning cold-drawn or cold-rolled wire in coils rather than hot-rolled wire rod or bars. The heading splits first by surface condition: not plated or coated, plated or coated with zinc, plated or coated with other base metals, and other (for example plastic coated). Within each of those groups the lines split by cross section (flat, round, other), then by carbon content, wire diameter, and whether the wire was heat treated. Every line listed in this heading carries a general (MFN) rate of Free.
