What HS code 7223 covers
Heading 7223 is the part of the Harmonized System that holds wire made of stainless steel. Customs offices read the heading text as “Steel, stainless; wire”.
The WCO list stops at 722300. Many countries use their own names for the system, such as HSN or HTS. They start from the same first six digits and then add extra digits of their own. These national lines differ from one country to the next. Duties differ too, because each country sets its own.
The heading text names the material and the form. It does not give a diameter or a shape. So a question about round wire, flat wire or wire in coils is settled by the national tariff line, not by the six-digit code. If you are unsure, the HS code classifier can help you check your product.
7223 vs other wire and stainless headings
Most mix-ups happen between two groups of headings. One group is wire. The other group is stainless steel. A simple rule helps: pick the material first, then pick the form.
Wire goes to one of three headings, depending on the steel:
- Stainless steel wire goes to 7223.
Stainless products that are not wire
These are bars and rods, so they are not filed as wire.
Flat products have their own headings too. If your goods are not wire, one of these may be the better fit.
