HS Code 7413Copper; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, not electrically insulated

What HS code 7413 covers

The Harmonized System is the global list of product codes that customs offices use. Every traded product gets a place in that list, and 7413 is the place for twisted and braided copper. Some traders write it as HSN code 7413. The number is the same.

Picture many thin copper strands wound together into one rope. That is copper stranded wire. Flat plaited bands are the same idea in a flat shape. Braided copper cable also belongs here. People also call it copper rope.

One condition matters most: the goods must be bare. A plastic or rubber coat around the metal takes the product out of this heading. So you can think of it as a tariff heading for copper cables not insulated.

Importers and exporters write this code on invoices and customs forms. It also lets you find these goods in trade records.

HS 741300 and national tariff digits

Shipment records for twisted copper cable are filed under that number.

Many countries add more digits for their own tariffs. Those extra digits are local, and they can differ from one country to the next. Check your national tariff list before you file. If you are unsure about a product, try the HS code classifier.

Difference between HS 7408 and 7413

Copper wire has its own heading, 7408. Both are copper, so buyers often mix them up. The exact words of each heading are your guide.

Ask these questions about your product:

• Is it plain copper wire? Read the notes for HS 7408, copper wire.
• Is it many strands twisted, braided or plaited together, with no coat? Look at 7413.
• Is it a solid bar, rod or profile? Look at HS 7407.
• Is it a copper article that has no named place elsewhere in the chapter? Look at HS 7419.
• Is there an insulating layer over the strands? Then the words "not electrically insulated" rule out 7413, and the goods belong under another heading.
