Aluminum wire
4 declarable lines
Heading 7605 covers aluminum wire, including coils of solid wire made from not alloyed aluminum or aluminum alloys. It splits first by material, not alloyed versus alloy, and then by maximum cross-sectional dimension, over 7 mm or other. The listed general (MFN) rates are 2.6% for wire over 7 mm and 4.2% for other wire.
Products in this heading
- Bare aluminum wire in coils
- Aluminum alloy welding wire
- Aluminum tie wire for construction
- Aluminum fence wire
- Bare aluminum electrical conductor wire, not stranded
- Aluminum wire for making rivets or nails
- Heavy-gauge aluminum alloy wire with cross-section over 7 mm
How to choose the right subheading
- Material: decide whether the wire is of not alloyed aluminum or of aluminum alloys.
- Dimension: measure the maximum cross-sectional dimension and decide whether it exceeds 7 mm.
- Form: confirm it is solid wire, not stranded cable or plaited bands.
- Use: bare conductor wire stays in 7605; insulated electrical wire goes elsewhere.
- Shape: bars, rods and profiles with a non-wire cross-section are classified outside 7605.
Often confused with
- Heading 8544Insulated electrical wire and cable
Insulation moves it out of 7605.
- Heading 7614Aluminum stranded wire and cable, not insulated
Stranded cable is covered by 7614, not solid wire.
- Heading 7604Aluminum bars, rods and profiles
Solid bars and rods of uniform cross-section are not wire.
- Heading 7607Aluminum foil
Foil is a flat thin product, not wire.
- Heading 7608Aluminum tubes and pipes
Hollow products are not wire.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for aluminum wire?
For not alloyed aluminum wire other than wire with maximum cross-sectional dimension over 7 mm, the listed code is 7605.19.00.00 at 4.2% general (MFN). For aluminum alloy wire over 7 mm, use 7605.21.00.00 at 2.6% general (MFN).
What is the duty on aluminum wire?
The listed general (MFN) rates are 2.6% for 7605.11.00.00 and 7605.21.00.00 and 4.2% for 7605.19.00.00 and 7605.29.00.00.
How do I classify aluminum alloy wire over 7 mm?
Classify it in 7605.21.00.00, which carries a 2.6% general (MFN) rate. If the wire is not alloyed and over 7 mm, the listed code is 7605.11.00.00 at the same 2.6% general (MFN) rate.
