Stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, including slings and similar articles, of copper, not electrically insulated
3 declarable lines
Heading 7413 covers stranded wire, cables, plaited bands, slings and similar articles made of copper, as long as they are not electrically insulated. The heading splits three ways: stranded wire without fittings, other goods without fittings that are not made up into articles, and goods that are fitted with fittings or made up into finished articles.

How to choose the right subheading
- Check whether the article is electrically insulated: insulated goods do not belong in 7413.
- Check whether the goods are stranded wire only, or another form such as plaited bands or slings.
- Check whether fittings are attached, such as ferrules, thimbles, hooks or terminals.
- Check whether the goods are made up into a finished article rather than left in bulk lengths.
- Confirm the metal is copper rather than steel or aluminum.
