Analysis
HTS 7217.10.80 covers other: round wire under heading 7217 (wire of iron or nonalloy steel). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 8 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The ten-digit suffixes separate heat treated, with a diameter of less than 1.0 mm, with a diameter of 1.0 mm or more but…, with a diameter of 1.5 mm or more, with a diameter of less than 1.0 mm and with a diameter of 1.0 mm or more but… and 1 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
