Cloth (including endless bands), grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire; expanded metal of iron or steel
In plain English
This heading covers woven fabrics, endless bands, grills, nets, fencing, and expanded metal made from iron or steel wire. The woven items are separated by material type, distinguishing stainless steel from other iron or steel, and further dividing stainless steel into bands for machinery and other woven cloth. The remaining categories focus on welded grills, nets, and fencing, classifying them based on wire thickness, mesh size, and surface treatments such as zinc plating, plastic coating, or other materials. Expanded metal of iron or steel stands as its own distinct category within this group.

Chapter 73 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Stainless steel articles should be classified under the specific stainless steel headings, not general iron/steel. Alloy steel has its own subheadings.
