HS-4 · Heading

7614Aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated)

Chapter 76: Aluminium and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7614 when importing aluminium stranded wire, cables, or plaited bands that are not electrically insulated. For instance, if you're shipping a batch of aluminium cables with a steel core for construction use, this heading applies.

When deciding between the two subheadings under 7614, consider the core material of the stranded wire. If your product contains a steel core, classify it under 761410. If it does not, use 761490 for other types of stranded wire or cables.

The distinction between 761410 and 761490 is crucial for compliance and duty rates. Ensure you accurately assess the core material to avoid misclassification, which could lead to delays or penalties during customs clearance.
