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 diverse range of applications.

Production process

The production of the items covered 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 or rolling. The wire is then woven or formed into the desired shape, such as grills, netting, or fencing. Finally, the wire products are coated with a protective material, such as epoxy, polyester, or other non-zinc or non-plastic coatings, to enhance their durability and corrosion resistance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 731449 include iron or steel wire, as well as the various coating materials used to protect the wire products. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as wire-drawing machines, weaving or fencing machines, and coating application systems, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production equipment are crucial factors in determining the overall output and competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 731449 are widely used in a variety of industries, including 441600 Construction, 940600 Agriculture, and 870000 Transportation. These wire-based products are often used as structural components, fencing, and protective barriers, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed by other HS codes, such as 730820 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 730900 Reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, of iron or steel, and 731010 Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, of iron or steel, among others.
