HS v2022 Code: 731442

About iron or steel wire; grill, netting and fencing, coated with plastic

HS code 731442 covers a range of iron or steel wire products that are coated with plastic. These products are widely used in various industries, including construction, agriculture, and infrastructure development. They play a crucial role in creating durable and long-lasting structures, fences, and protective barriers, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.

Production process

The production of iron or steel wire products covered under HS code 731442 typically involves several key steps. First, the base material, which is either iron or steel, is drawn into wire of the desired thickness and strength. The wire is then coated with a layer of plastic, often through a process of extrusion or dipping, to provide additional protection and enhance its durability. The coated wire is then woven or fabricated into various shapes and forms, such as grills, netting, and fencing, to meet the specific needs of different applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 731442 products include iron or steel wire, plastic resins, and specialized machinery for wire drawing, coating, and fabrication. The quality and properties of the base wire, as well as the type of plastic used for the coating, can significantly impact the final product's performance and suitability for different applications. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 731442 are various types of plastic-coated iron or steel wire products, including grills, netting, and fencing. These outputs are often consumed by industries such as 731010 Construction, 731021 Agriculture, and 731029 Infrastructure, where they are used for a wide range of applications, including perimeter fencing, protective barriers, and reinforcement in construction projects.
