Cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire; expanded metal of iron or steel
Analysis
Heading 7314 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire; expanded metal of iron or steel. It divides into 10 six-digit subheadings and 20 eight-digit tariff lines, with 25 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 20 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 7314.12 (endless bands for machinery, of stainless steel, 5 lines), 7314.14 (other woven cloth, of stainless steel, 5 lines), 7314.31 (plated or coated with zinc, 2 lines) and 7314.49 (other, 2 lines).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 38th percentile of the headings in chapter 73.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (332618) and Ornamental and Architectural Metal Work Manufacturing (332323). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
