Stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, including slings and similar articles, of aluminum, not electrically insulated
6 declarable lines
Heading 7614 covers stranded aluminum wire, cables, plaited bands and similar articles, including slings, that are not electrically insulated. It first splits on whether the product has a steel core. Other products split on whether they are fitted with fittings or made up into articles, and non-fitted electrical conductors split by cross-sectional area.
Products in this heading
- Bare aluminum stranded electrical conductor
- Aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cable
- Aluminum wire rope
- Aluminum cable sling
- Plaited aluminum band
- Aluminum guy wire strand
- Aluminum messenger cable
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the article is made of aluminum and is not electrically insulated.
- Check whether the article has a steel core; steel-core articles go to 7614.10.
- For steel-core articles, decide whether they are fitted with fittings or made up into articles.
- For other articles, decide whether they are fitted with fittings or made up into articles before looking at electrical conductor details.
- For other non-fitted electrical conductors, use the 240 mm2 cross-sectional area threshold to choose the line.
Often confused with
- Heading 8544Insulated electrical cable and wire
Insulation puts it in the electrical cable heading, not heading 7614.
- Heading 7312Steel wire rope or cable
Cables of iron or steel are classified in heading 7312, not the aluminum heading.
- Heading 7605Aluminum wire in coils that is not stranded or cabled
Plain aluminum wire is classified in heading 7605.
- Heading 7604Aluminum bars, rods and profiles
Solid aluminum bars and rods are not stranded wire or cable.
