About barbed wire of iron or steel; twisted hoop or single flat wire, barbed or not and loosely twisted double wire, of a kind used for fencing, of iron or steel

HS code 7313 covers a range of steel wire products used primarily in fencing applications. These products, which include barbed wire, twisted hoop wire, and loosely twisted double wire, play a crucial role in the construction and security of various types of fences across agricultural, industrial, and residential settings. As a key component of infrastructure development and property demarcation, the 7313 industry is an important contributor to the broader steel and metal fabrication sectors within the global economy.

Production process

The production of HS code 7313 items typically involves a multi-step process. First, steel wire is drawn to the desired diameter and tensile strength. The wire is then twisted, bent, or barbed using specialized machinery to create the various fencing products. For barbed wire, the wire is passed through a machine that crimps sharp barbs at regular intervals along the length. Twisted hoop and loosely twisted double wire are formed by feeding the wire through rollers that impart the desired twisting pattern. These fabricated wire products are then cut to length, coiled, and prepared for distribution and installation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the HS code 7313 industry include high-quality steel wire, which serves as the primary raw material. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment for the wire drawing, twisting, and barbing processes. Additionally, energy sources such as electricity or natural gas are needed to power the production facilities. Skilled labor, including machine operators and quality control personnel, is another crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 7313 industry are the various types of fencing wire products, including barbed wire, twisted hoop wire, and loosely twisted double wire. These outputs are typically consumed by 4401 Agricultural and Forestry Machinery, 4402 Construction and Mining Machinery, and 4403 Other Special-Purpose Machinery manufacturers, who incorporate them into their fencing systems and security solutions. The 7313 industry also supplies wire products to 6801 Prefabricated Buildings, 6802 Furniture, and 6803 Other Manufactured Goods n.e.c. industries for a variety of applications.
