The general 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.
