Customs classification of galvanised welded mesh 7314 31

CN code 7314 31 of the Combined Nomenclature covers grill, netting and fencing of steel wire, welded at intersections, plated or coated with zinc. In commercial practice, these are welded fence panels (e.g. 3D type, Nylofor, Betafence panels), welded reinforcing mesh for concrete, galvanised welded fencing mesh and welded metal panels for cages and shelving. Welding at wire intersections distinguishes these products from chain-link mesh (CN 7314 41-49) and woven wire cloth (CN 7314 12-19). Galvanising (electro or hot-dip) provides anti-corrosion coating. Non-galvanised welded mesh is classified under CN 7314 39. Plastic-coated mesh falls under CN 7314 42. Welded reinforcing mesh for concrete may be subject to separate EN standards and CE requirements.

Import requirements and CBAM for galvanised welded mesh 7314 31

Importing galvanised welded mesh under CN code 7314 31 into the EU is governed by the Union Customs Code. Since 1 January 2026, products from Chapter 73 fall within the scope of CBAM. Welded reinforcing mesh for concrete is subject to harmonised standard EN 10080 and requires CE marking under CPR No 305/2011. The Declaration of Performance must include steel class, yield strength and ductility. Welded fence panels may be subject to EN 13200-3 (sports fencing) or national fencing regulations. Required documents include a commercial invoice with technical specifications, material certificate, CE declaration (for reinforcing mesh), manufacturer specification and certificate of origin. Duty rates should be verified in TARIC.

Trade measures for galvanised welded mesh 7314 31

Galvanised welded mesh under CN code 7314 31 may be subject to EU trade defence measures. Steel safeguard measures under the TRQ system may cover products under heading 7314 with an additional 25 percent duty. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to sanctions prohibitions. Anti-dumping duties on welded mesh from China may apply. The welded mesh market covers fencing, construction (reinforcement) and industrial segments. Major non-European suppliers include companies from China, Turkey and India. 3D galvanised fence panels are among the most commonly imported types. Preferential rates under EU FTAs may reduce costs. Total import cost includes duty, safeguard, CBAM and VAT.

Customs classification of galvanised welded steel mesh (CN 7314 31)

CN code 7314 31 of the Combined Nomenclature covers galvanised welded steel mesh within Chapter 73, which deals with articles of iron or steel. Classification in this chapter is based on the type of article, its intended use, manufacturing method (casting, forging, welding, stamping) and base material (cast iron, non-alloy steel, stainless steel or alloy steel). Correct classification requires analysis of technical documentation. Where classification is uncertain, importers can obtain Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling from customs authorities, valid for three years throughout the EU.

Frequently asked questions

Does welded reinforcing mesh require CE marking?
Yes. Welded steel mesh for concrete reinforcement is subject to harmonised standard EN 10080 and requires CE marking under CPR No 305/2011. The Declaration of Performance must include steel class, yield strength and ductility. The manufacturer must hold certified factory production control. Welded fence panels do not require CE under EN 10080 - their requirements depend on application.
Is galvanised welded mesh subject to CBAM?
Yes. Since 1 January 2026, galvanised welded mesh under CN code 7314 31 falls within the CBAM mechanism. Importers must register as authorised CBAM declarants, submit quarterly declarations of embedded emissions and purchase CBAM certificates.
What distinguishes CN 7314 31 from CN 7314 39?
CN code 7314 31 covers welded steel mesh and grating that is galvanised (zinc-coated). CN 7314 39 covers other welded steel mesh that is not galvanised (e.g. painted, raw, stainless). The distinguishing criterion is the presence of zinc coating. Both codes apply to mesh welded at wire intersections.
What is the EU duty rate for CN code 7314 31 in 2026?
The duty rate for CN code 7314 31 (galvanised welded steel mesh) is set in the TARIC tariff and depends on the country of origin. Preferential rates may apply under EU trade agreements. The current rate can be checked in the European Commission's.
