HS Code 7313Barbed wire of iron or steel; twisted hoop or single flat wire, barbed or not and loosely twisted double wire, of a kind used for fencing, of iron or steel

What HS code 7313 covers

Picture a farm fence with sharp points along the wire. That is barbed wire, and it belongs here. The heading is wider than that. It also takes twisted hoop wire and single flat wire, barbed or not. Loosely twisted double wire is included too.

Two tests decide it. Copper or aluminium wire does not fit. Neither does wire built for lifting or towing.

Some traders search for HSN code 7313. It is the same heading under another name.

Why care about the right heading? The code is printed on invoices, shipping papers and customs forms. A wrong one can cause delays or a different duty than you planned.

Harmonized system code 7313 classification

Think of the code as a ladder. Section XV covers base metals. Chapter 73 holds articles made from steel and iron. Heading 7313 sits inside that chapter, and 731300 is the last rung.

The international list gives just that one code. Each country may add more digits for its own tariff classification. Those extra digits, and any duty tied to them, are set by that country, so this page does not list them. Check the tariff schedule of the market you ship to before you fill in a declaration.

Difference between HS 7313 and 7314 fencing

Wire and fencing goods sit close together in Chapter 73, so mix-ups are common. The shape of the finished product usually decides the heading.

Heading 7313 is for the wire itself, sold as a strand or a twisted pair. Heading 7314 is for cloth, grill, netting and fencing made from wire, plus expanded metal. A roll of woven or welded mesh goes to 7314. A reel of barbed fencing wire goes to 7313.

Heading 7312 is for stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands and slings that carry no electrical insulation. A rope or cable used to pull or lift goes there, not here.

Fasteners are different again. A staple that holds wire to a post goes with nails and tacks under heading 7317.

When two headings seem to fit, read each full description. Pick the one that names your product most exactly.
