Last updated: July 2026 dataClassified under a single 10-digit line (7314200000), this product covers welded wire panels and rolls where both the wire cross-section reaches at least 3 mm and the mesh opening is 100 cm² or larger — dimensional thresholds that distinguish it from finer industrial mesh. Common end uses include agricultural fencing, construction reinforcement panels, and heavy-duty security barriers. Mexico and Canada are the leading suppliers, with China also a notable source, making this heading subject to Section 232 steel tariff exposure for non-exempt origins. Importers should confirm whether the specific wire gauge and mesh geometry meet the dual thresholds, as misclassification into adjacent welded-mesh headings is a recurring audit issue.

Both conditions must be met simultaneously: the wire's maximum cross-section must be 3 mm or more, and the mesh opening must be 100 cm² or more. Panels that satisfy only one threshold typically fall under a different subheading within HTS Chapter 73. Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm classification when wire diameter or mesh size is near the boundary.
Yes, welded iron and steel wire products generally fall within the scope of Section 232 steel tariffs. Duty treatment varies by country of origin, and certain origins may have negotiated quota or exemption arrangements. Verify current status with CBP or a trade counsel before entry.
