RE: The tariff classification of steel wire from Taiwan.

Dear Mr. Schlesinger:

In your letter dated August 5, 2002 on behalf of Olympic Manufacturing, Agawam, MA, and Chen Nan Iron Works, Taiwan, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The product to be imported is cold-drawn spheroidize annealed round steel wire in coils. The following grades of nonalloy steel wire will be imported: 1008, 1018, 1022 and 1038.

The applicable subheading for the nonalloy steel wire that contains less than 0.25 percent by weight of carbon and measures less than 1.5 mm in diameter will be 7217.10.4030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for wire of iron or nonalloy steel, not plated or coated, whether or not polished, containing by weight less than 0.25 percent of carbon, round wire, with a diameter of less than 1.5 mm, heat treated. The rate of duty will be 1.1 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the nonalloy steel wire that contains 0.25 percent or more but less than 0.6 percent by weight of carbon will be 7217.10.8010, HTS, which provides for wire of iron or nonalloy steel, not plated or coated, whether or not polished, other, round wire, containing by weight 0.25 percent or more but less than 0.6 percent of carbon, heat treated.
