HS Code 7614Aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated)
2 six-digit codes · Heading 14 of 16 in Chapter 76 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
One test sorts the goods: does the product have a steel core?
Heading 7614 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated)” classify either at 761410 or at 761490, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 14 of 16 in Chapter 76, Aluminium and articles thereof, which runs to 35 six-digit codes in all.
HS code 7614: what it covers
Stranded wire is made of thin aluminium strands twisted together. A cable groups such strands or wires into one product. A plaited band is made of strands braided into a band. All of these sit under this heading, as long as they are bare metal.
The key words are "not electrically insulated". If a product carries an insulating coat or sheath, it does not belong here. The HS tariff classification of the World Customs Organization treats the insulation as a different kind of good. If you are unsure, check the item in the HS code classifier before you file.
Importers in some countries say HSN code 7614 for the same heading. The first six digits are the same in the shared Harmonized System.
HS 7614 subheadings: 761410 vs 761490
The rule is short. A steel core decides the subheading. Everything else that fits the heading goes to the other one.
- This is the steel core aluminium conductor.
- 761490: the same goods, not electrically insulated, other than steel core.
Which HS code for steel core aluminium cable?
Bare aluminium cable with a steel core goes to 761410. Bare aluminium cable without a steel core goes to 761490. Both are part of heading 7614.
Now compare 7614 with its neighbour, HS 7605 aluminium wire. Heading 7605 is for aluminium wire. If your product is a single plain wire, look at 7605 first. If it is twisted strands, a cable or a plaited band, 7614 is the better fit.
Two other headings help with edge cases. Heading 7616 holds aluminium articles not named elsewhere in the chapter. Heading 7604 covers bars, rods and profiles, which are solid shapes and not stranded products.
Insulated aluminium cable is a common question. The words "not electrically insulated" keep it out of 7614.
