Articles of Iron or Steel Wire, Not Elsewhere Specified

Manufactured articles made from iron or steel wire — including wire baskets, formed wire frames, wire mesh products, and similar fabricated wire goods — fall into this residual heading when they are not more specifically described elsewhere in the tariff schedule. The heading captures a wide range of end-use products, from retail display fixtures to industrial storage components, unified by their wire-based construction rather than by function. Section 232 tariffs on steel products are a recurring cost factor for importers, and antidumping or countervailing duty orders on certain wire products or wire-based articles from specific origins can add further complexity to landed-cost calculations. The distinction between a wire article and a wire mesh or netting product is a common classification question, with the latter typically having its own specific heading.
