About heading 7229

Wire of other alloy steel

Heading 7229 covers wire of alloy steel other than stainless steel, meaning cold-drawn or cold-finished wire in coils, not hot-rolled rods or bars. The heading splits first between silico-manganese steel (7229.20) and all other alloy steel (7229.90). The 7229.90 lines then break out by high-speed steel, flat wire, round wire by diameter, and a residual other wire line. Every line in this heading carries a general (MFN) rate of Free.

Frequently asked questions

What is the HTS code for copper-coated silico-manganese welding wire?

Round silico-manganese wire with a diameter of 1.6 mm or less that is plated or coated with copper is classified under 7229.20.00.10, with a general (MFN) rate of Free.

What is the duty on round alloy steel wire 1.5 mm or more in diameter?

It falls under 7229.90.50.51, and the general (MFN) rate is Free.

How do I classify flat wire of alloy steel?

Drawn flat wire of other alloy steel is classified under 7229.90.10.00, with a general (MFN) rate of Free. Flat-rolled strip of alloy steel is a different product and does not go in this heading.
