HS Code 7229Wire of other alloy steel
2 six-digit codes · Heading 29 of 29 in Chapter 72 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7229 is where alloy steel wire goes when no narrower heading fits it. Use this page to choose the right code and to find who trades the product.
Heading 7229 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Wire of other alloy steel” classify either at 722920 or at 722990, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 29 of 29 in Chapter 72, Iron and steel, which runs to 167 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 7229 covers
Wire is steel drawn into a long, thin, even strand. It is usually sold in coils or on spools. Traders often say alloy steel wire, and buyers in India search for HSN code 7229. All of these names point to the same heading.
The word "other" in the official name is a catch-all. It tells you that wire made of alloy steel lands here only if a more specific wire heading does not claim it first. Always rule out those headings before you settle on this one.
Thicker products are a different story. A bar, a rod or a shape is not wire, so it is classified elsewhere in the chapter.
Wire of other alloy steel HS code 7229: how to pick the code
The choice rests on one question: is the alloy silico-manganese steel? You can find the answer on the mill certificate or the product data sheet.
If yes, file the goods at 722920. If the wire is any other alloy steel, file at 722990. Do not guess. A wrong six-digit code can cause delays at the border and gives you poor results when you search for trade records.
How alloy steel wire differs from nearby headings
Most mistakes happen between neighbours. Check these before you file a shipment or run a search.
- If nothing was added to the steel as an alloy, go there.
- Stainless grades are split off, so they never belong in 7229.
- A coiled rod is still a rod, not a wire.
- HS 7202 is ferro-alloys. These are raw materials used to make alloy steel, not finished wire.
