Barbed 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

HTS code 7313.00.00.00 classifies imports of: Barbed 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. This line sits within Chapter 73 (Articles of iron or steel), Section XV (Base Metals and Articles of Base Metal), and is catalogued as a heading in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. Duty is calculated against units of quantity: kg. A footnote applies to this classification: See 9903.88.03. See U.S. note 16 to subchapter III, chapter 99.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 7313.00.00.00 is Free, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. No special preferential rate is listed for this line, so FTA origin alone will not reduce the general duty. The Column 2 rate of Free applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea, a much higher historical "full" tariff. Because the general rate is Free, most imports under this code enter the US without duty, though anti-dumping, countervailing, or Section 301 tariffs can still apply depending on country of origin.

Footnotes: See 9903.88.03. See U.S. note 16 to subchapter III, chapter 99. Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
