Wire of iron or non-alloy steel

HS v2022 Code: 7217

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 broader manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials and components for a wide range of applications. The production and trade of wire under this code contribute significantly to the global economy, supporting industries such as automotive, infrastructure development, and consumer goods manufacturing.

Production process

The production of wire under HS code 7217 typically involves a series of processes, including drawing, rolling, and annealing. Wire is drawn from rod or wire rod, which is then subjected to various heat treatments and mechanical processes to achieve the desired diameter, tensile strength, and surface finish. The specific techniques used may vary depending on the end-use requirements and the desired properties of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of wire under HS code 7217 include iron or non-alloy steel in the form of wire rod or other semi-finished products. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as drawing machines, rolling mills, and annealing furnaces, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 7217 is wire, which can be used in a wide range of applications. This wire may be further processed or incorporated into other products, such as 7312 Wire rope, cables, plaited bands, slings and the like, 8311 Wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes, with or without coating, for soldering, brazing, welding or deposition of metal or of metal carbides, or 7320 Springs and leaves for springs, of iron or steel. The versatility of wire produced under this code makes it a crucial input for various manufacturing and construction industries.
