Chapter 73 covers articles of iron or steel, but excludes raw materials for iron and steel smelting (such as pig iron and ferroalloys) and ferrous waste and scrap. This chapter includes tubes, profiles, wire products, fasteners, springs, chains, tools, and daily iron and steel articles. Heading 7314 pertains to articles of iron or steel wire, which are mesh-structured products formed by weaving, welding, or stamping iron or steel wire, widely used in construction, filtration, protection, and other fields. Heading 7314 covers cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting, and fencing of iron or steel wire, and expanded metal of iron or steel. Specifically includes: woven mesh, welded mesh, hexagonal mesh, fence mesh, expanded metal, perforated mesh, filter mesh, etc. However, it does not include iron or steel wire itself (7217) or stranded wire, ropes, and cables of iron or steel wire (7312). Under this heading, further subdivision is based on processing method, coating, mesh size, etc. Code 731410 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits '73' represent Chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel); digits 3-4 '14' represent heading 7314 (cloth, grill, netting, and fencing of iron or steel wire); digits 5-6 '10' represent subheading 731410, specifically 'wire mesh', i.e., mesh products woven or welded from steel wire, usually not further processed or only simply galvanized or plastic-coated. Under this subheading, further subdivision may be based on mesh, wire diameter, coating, etc., but the 6-digit code is clearly defined as wire mesh. This commodity is wire mesh, an article of iron or steel wire, conforming to the description of heading 7314. If it were iron or steel wire itself, it should be classified under 7217; if it were stranded wire, ropes, or cables of iron or steel wire, it should be classified under 7312; if it were perforated expanded metal from steel plate, it might be classified under other subheadings under 7314, but 731410 specifically refers to wire mesh (woven or welded). Therefore, based on material and processing method, classification under 731410 is most accurate.

Product Name: The specific name of the declared commodity, such as 'galvanized steel wire mesh', 'stainless steel welded mesh', etc., must be consistent with the actual product. Material: Specify the material of the steel wire, such as low carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, etc., which affects classification and tax rate. Processing Method: Indicate whether it is woven, welded, or stamped, such as 'woven mesh', 'welded mesh'. Surface Treatment: Describe the coating or plating, such as 'galvanized', 'plastic-coated', 'PVC-coated', etc. Specifications and Dimensions: Include mesh size, wire diameter, mesh width, mesh length, etc., with specific values. Use: Explain the main use, such as 'construction protection', 'filtration', 'fencing', etc. Brand: If there is a brand, declare the brand name; if no brand, indicate 'no brand'. Model: Declare the product model or item number for identification. Product Name: Galvanized steel wire mesh; Material: Low carbon steel; Processing Method: Woven; Surface Treatment: Hot-dip galvanized; Specifications and Dimensions: Mesh 10mm×10mm, wire diameter 1.2mm, mesh width 1m, mesh length 30m; Use: Construction site protection; Brand: No brand; Model: GH-1020. Misclassifying stainless steel mesh under 731410, while stainless steel mesh should actually be classified under 731414 or 731419. Not indicating processing method, making it impossible to distinguish woven mesh from welded mesh, affecting subheading. Incomplete declaration of specifications and dimensions, such as missing mesh and wire diameter, easily questioned by customs.

Core classification basis: 1) Material is iron or steel wire; 2) Processing method is weaving or welding; 3) Product form is mesh. If it is perforated expanded metal from steel plate, it is classified under other subheadings under 7314 (such as 731420, 731430, etc.). If it is stranded wire, ropes, or cables of iron or steel wire, it is classified under 7312. If it is iron or steel wire itself, it is classified under 7217. Therefore, material, processing method, and use must be verified. 731414 Stainless steel woven mesh: Material is stainless steel, while 731410 usually refers to ordinary steel wire mesh. Stainless steel mesh is corrosion-resistant and classified under 731414. 731419 Other steel wire mesh: 731419 includes steel wire mesh not otherwise specified, such as plastic-coated mesh, special woven mesh, while 731410 is ordinary steel wire mesh. 731420 Welded mesh: 731420 specifically refers to welded mesh of iron or steel wire, while 731410 includes woven mesh and welded mesh? Actually 731410 is steel wire mesh, possibly covering weaving and welding, but some countries subdivide. Need to refer to specific subheading notes. 7312 Stranded wire, ropes, and cables of iron or steel wire: Ropes and cables are stranded structures, not mesh, classified under 7312. 7217 Iron or steel wire: Iron or steel wire is wire rod, not mesh products, classified under 7217. Is the material iron or steel wire? Is the processing method weaving or welding? Is it galvanized or plastic-coated? Are mesh size and wire diameter clear? Is it used for specific purposes such as filtration or protection?

How to query the HS code for steel wire mesh? First confirm the material (such as low carbon steel, stainless steel), processing method (weaving, welding), surface treatment (galvanizing, plastic coating). Then consult Chapter 73 of the Import and Export Tariff, find heading 7314, and select the 6-digit subheading based on material and processing method. Ordinary steel wire mesh is usually classified under 731410, stainless steel mesh under 731414. What is the difference in classification between galvanized steel wire mesh and plastic-coated steel wire mesh? Both are steel wire mesh, but surface treatment differs. Galvanized steel wire mesh is usually classified under 731410, while plastic-coated steel wire mesh, if ordinary steel wire, may be classified under 731419 (other). Specific classification depends on coating material and customs classification decisions. How to distinguish steel wire mesh from expanded metal? Steel wire mesh is woven or welded from steel wire, classified under 7314; expanded metal is made by perforating and stretching steel plate, also classified under 7314, but different subheadings (e.g., 731420 for welded mesh, 731430 for other mesh). The key difference is whether the raw material is wire or plate. When declaring steel wire mesh, how to fill in specifications and dimensions? Need to fill in mesh size (e.g., 10mm×10mm), wire diameter (e.g., 1.2mm), mesh width (e.g., 1m), mesh length (e.g., 30m). If in rolls, indicate roll weight or roll length. This information helps customs confirm classification. What certifications are required for exporting steel wire mesh to the EU? The EU has no unified mandatory certification for steel wire mesh, but if used for construction, CE certification (complying with EN standards) may be required. For food contact, must comply with EC 1935/2004. It is recommended to consult professional institutions based on use. Does brand affect HS code when classifying steel wire mesh? Brand does not affect HS code, but must be truthfully declared. HS code depends on material, processing method, etc., brand is only for intellectual property protection. What is the difference in tax rates between stainless steel wire mesh and ordinary steel wire mesh? Tax rates vary by country and may change. Generally, stainless steel mesh (731414) and ordinary steel wire mesh (731410) have different tax rates. It is recommended to consult the latest Import and Export Tariff or consult a customs broker. After steel wire mesh is classified under 731410, what are the regulatory conditions? Regulatory conditions depend on national policies and use. Generally no special regulation, but if used for pressure vessels, etc., a license may be required. It is recommended to consult the customs regulatory conditions table.
