Customs classification of galvanised chain-link mesh 7314 41
CN code 7314 41 covers chain-link mesh of steel wire, plated or coated with zinc. These are Rabitza-type chain-link fences made from steel wires interwoven in a characteristic diamond pattern with galvanic or hot-dip zinc coating. Chain-link fencing is widely used in agricultural, industrial, residential and sports applications. Classification requires woven chain-link construction and zinc coating. Plastic-coated chain-link falls under CN 7314 42, other chain-link under CN 7314 49. Welded galvanised mesh belongs to CN 7314 31. Barbed wire is classified under heading 7313. Standard EN 10223-3 defines requirements for steel fencing mesh.
Import requirements and CBAM for galvanised chain-link 7314 41
Importing galvanised chain-link mesh under CN 7314 41 into the EU is governed by the Union Customs Code. Since 1 January 2026, products from Chapter 73 fall within the scope of CBAM. Steel fencing mesh should comply with EN 10223-3. Zinc coating should meet EN 10244 or EN ISO 1461. Required documents include a commercial invoice with technical specifications, material certificate, manufacturer specification and certificate of origin. Products must comply with REACH. Duty rates should be verified in TARIC.
Trade measures for galvanised chain-link 7314 41
Galvanised chain-link mesh under CN 7314 41 may be subject to EU trade defence measures. Steel safeguard measures under the TRQ system may cover products under heading 7314. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to sanctions. Anti-dumping duties on fencing mesh from China may apply. The chain-link fencing market is very large, with major suppliers from China, India and Turkey. Preferential rates under EU FTAs may reduce costs. Total import cost includes duty, safeguard, CBAM and VAT.
Importing galvanised chain-link steel mesh into the EU - procedure
The import procedure for galvanised chain-link steel mesh (CN code 7314 41) into the European Union requires filing a customs declaration in the national import system. Essential documents include a commercial invoice, transport document, certificate of origin (for preferential tariff rates) and quality certificates confirming compliance with EN standards. Steel articles may be subject to EU safeguard measures and anti-dumping duties depending on the country of origin. The standard duty rate ranges from 0% to 3.7% depending on the specific TARIC subheading. Import VAT is charged on the.
Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes CN 7314 41 from CN 7314 42?
CN 7314 41 covers galvanised (zinc-coated) chain-link mesh, while CN 7314 42 covers plastic-coated chain-link mesh. The distinguishing criterion is the type of coating: zinc qualifies for 7314 41, plastic coating for 7314 42. Chain-link mesh without zinc or plastic coating falls under CN 7314 49.
Is galvanised chain-link mesh subject to CBAM?
Yes. Since 1 January 2026, galvanised chain-link mesh under CN 7314 41 falls within the CBAM mechanism. Importers must register as authorised CBAM declarants, submit quarterly emissions declarations and purchase CBAM certificates.
What standards apply to chain-link fencing mesh?
Chain-link fencing mesh should comply with EN 10223-3 for hexagonal and diamond steel mesh. Zinc coating should meet EN 10244 (wire coatings) or EN ISO 1461 (hot-dip galvanising). Zinc coating thickness determines corrosion resistance and fence durability.
What documents are needed to import galvanised chain-link steel mesh (CN 7314 41)?
To import goods under CN code 7314 41, the following documents are required: commercial invoice, transport document (CMR/B/L), certificate of origin (EUR.1 or invoice declaration for preferences), quality or mill certificate, and a customs.
