Last updated: July 2026 dataManufactured articles made from iron or steel wire — ranging from garment hangers and paint roller frames to wire belting, staples, and double-loop bar ties — are grouped under a heading with seven distinct 10-digit lines reflecting the breadth of end-use applications. China dominates US imports across virtually all wire-article categories, with Mexico and Canada serving as significant North American sources. The garment hanger line (7326200020) has historically attracted antidumping scrutiny, making origin and classification documentation particularly important for that product.

Yes, wire garment hangers from China have been subject to antidumping duty orders. Importers of steel wire hangers should verify whether an active antidumping order covers their specific product and supplier, and ensure that the country of origin is accurately declared. Hangers assembled in third countries from Chinese wire may still be subject to the order if the origin determination points back to China; a substantial-transformation analysis is essential before claiming a non-Chinese origin.
Articles of iron or steel wire under heading 7326.20 are finished manufactured goods made from wire — such as hangers, frames, ties, and belts — as opposed to wire rope and cables (heading 7312), woven wire cloth or fencing (heading 7314), or chain (heading 7315). The key is that the article must be a discrete manufactured product whose essential character derives from the wire form, not a semi-finished wire product or a textile-like wire fabric. When the article could plausibly fall under multiple headings, the General Rules of Interpretation and any applicable chapter notes should guide the final determination.
