About wire of iron or non-alloy steel

HS code 7217 covers the classification of wire made from iron or non-alloy steel. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. The production and trade of wire under this code contribute significantly to the broader economy, supporting industries such as 7308 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 8311 Wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes, with or without coating, of base metal or of metal carbides, and 8414 Air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan.

Production process

The production of wire under HS code 7217 typically involves a series of processes, including drawing, rolling, and annealing. Raw steel is first drawn through a series of dies to reduce its diameter and increase its tensile strength. The drawn wire is then subjected to heat treatment, or annealing, to soften the material and improve its ductility. Finally, the wire may undergo additional processing, such as coating or plating, to enhance its corrosion resistance or aesthetic appeal.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of wire under HS code 7217 include raw steel, drawing equipment, and annealing furnaces. Steel producers and metal fabricators are the primary suppliers of the raw material, while specialized machinery manufacturers provide the necessary equipment for the drawing and heat treatment processes. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the annealing stage of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 7217 is wire, which is then used as a raw material in a variety of downstream industries. This wire can be further processed and incorporated into products such as 7308 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 8311 Wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes, with or without coating, of base metal or of metal carbides, and 8414 Air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan. The versatility of wire produced under this code makes it an essential component in the global manufacturing and construction supply chains.
