About cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire; expanded metal of iron or steel

HS code 7314 covers a diverse range of wire-based products, including cloth, grill, netting, and fencing made from iron or steel wire. These items are essential components in various industries, from construction and infrastructure to manufacturing and agriculture. The global demand for these products is driven by their versatility, durability, and widespread applications, making this industry a vital part of the broader international trade and economic landscape.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 7314 typically involves weaving, knitting, or otherwise interlacing iron or steel wire into the desired configurations. This can be done using automated machinery or more traditional manual techniques, depending on the scale and complexity of the final product. The wire may undergo various pre-processing steps, such as drawing, galvanizing, or coating, to enhance its properties and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7314 items include iron or steel wire, which serves as the primary raw material. Manufacturers may also utilize specialized machinery, such as weaving or knitting machines, to facilitate the manufacturing process. Additionally, various chemicals and coatings may be employed to protect the wire or impart specific properties to the final product.

Production outputs

The outputs of the HS code 7314 industry encompass a wide range of wire-based products, including 7314 (Cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire; expanded metal of iron or steel). These items find applications in numerous sectors, such as construction, infrastructure, agriculture, and industrial manufacturing, where they are often used as reinforcement, protective barriers, or structural components. The outputs of this industry may also be further processed or incorporated into other products, such as 7308 (Structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading 9406) and parts of structures (for example, bridges and bridge-sections, lock-gates, towers, lattice masts, roofs, roofing frameworks, doors and windows and their frames and thresholds for doors, shutters, balustrades, pillars and columns), of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, of iron or steel).
