Last updated: August 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.

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.
