HS v2017 Code: 731449

About iron or steel wire; grill, netting and fencing, coated with materials other than zinc or plastic

HS code 731449 covers a wide range of iron or steel wire products, including grills, netting, and fencing, that are coated with materials other than zinc or plastic. These products are essential components in various industries, from construction and infrastructure to agriculture and transportation. They play a crucial role in providing durable, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing solutions for a variety of applications.

Production process

The production of items under HS code 731449 typically involves several key steps. First, the base material, which is iron or steel wire, is manufactured through a process of drawing and annealing. The wire is then woven or formed into the desired grill, netting, or fencing patterns. Finally, the products are coated with a protective material, such as epoxy, polyester, or other non-zinc or non-plastic coatings, to enhance their durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 731449 include iron or steel wire, which serves as the primary raw material. Additionally, various coating materials, such as epoxy resins, polyester powders, or other specialized coatings, are necessary to provide the desired protective and aesthetic properties. Specialized machinery, such as wire-drawing equipment, weaving machines, and coating application systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 731449 are primarily used in construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications. They are commonly found in fencing, security barriers, architectural grillwork, and various types of industrial mesh and netting. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by industries such as 441600 Construction, 253000 Manufacture of other transport equipment, and 011000 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities.
