Analysis
Subheading 7314.49 covers other, within heading 7314. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 2 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7314.49.30 for other: not cut to shape (duty-free) and 7314.49.60 for other: cut to shape (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (332618). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 7314.49 once they fall within heading 7314 (cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
