HTS heading 7314 is a broad product category for certain articles made from iron or steel wire. It groups together wire cloth (including endless bands), grills, netting, fencing, and expanded metal. These products may be used for screening, barriers, reinforcement, filtration, or other structural and industrial purposes.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s physical construction and the heading’s legal descriptions. The subheadings commonly distinguish the type of article and relevant material or manufacturing features—for example, whether it is woven, welded, expanded, fencing-related, or another specified form. Confirm the complete 8-digit description, including any additional statistical suffix, rather than choosing from the heading title alone.
What to check
- Identify the product’s manufacturing method: woven, welded, knitted, expanded, or another construction.
- Record the material accurately, including whether the wire is iron or steel and any relevant alloy or coating.
- Measure or document features the tariff schedule may use, such as wire dimensions, mesh or opening size, shape, and whether the article is supplied in rolls, panels, or a finished form.
- Compare the product’s actual construction with every applicable subheading description and read the legal notes and chapter notes referenced by the tariff schedule.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, supplier descriptions, and technical drawings that support the selected 8-digit code; ask a customs broker or request a formal ruling if the descriptions overlap or remain unclear.
HTS heading 7314 summary
Cloth is a 4-digit product category containing 3 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
