HS v2022 Code: 731420

About iron or steel wire; grill, netting and fencing, welded at intersections, of wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 3mm or more and mesh size 100cm2 or more

HS code 731420 covers a range of iron or steel wire products, including grills, netting, and fencing. These products are widely used in construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications, playing a crucial role in the broader economy. The welded intersections and larger mesh size make these wire products suitable for a variety of heavy-duty applications where strength and durability are essential.

Production process

The production of HS code 731420 items typically involves a multi-step process. First, steel wire is drawn to the required diameter and then welded at the intersections to form the desired grid or mesh pattern. The welding process is often automated to ensure consistent quality and efficiency. After welding, the products may undergo additional finishing steps, such as galvanization or coating, to enhance their corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 731420 items include steel wire, welding equipment, and various finishing materials, such as galvanizing agents or paint. The steel wire is the primary raw material, and its quality and properties, such as tensile strength and corrosion resistance, are crucial to the final product's performance. Specialized machinery, including wire-drawing equipment and automated welding systems, are also essential for the efficient and consistent production of these wire-based products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 731420 are various types of wire grills, netting, and fencing products. These items are widely used in construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications, such as 730820 Towers and lattice masts, 730900 Reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, and 731010 Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers. The welded intersections and larger mesh size make these wire products suitable for applications where strength and durability are essential, such as in security fencing, industrial enclosures, and agricultural applications.
