Chapter 76: Aluminium and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 761490 when you're importing or exporting non-insulated aluminium stranded wire, cables, or plaited bands. For example, if you're shipping a roll of aluminium wire used in construction, this is the correct code.
This code specifically applies to aluminium products that are not electrically insulated, setting it apart from HS-6 761410, which covers insulated aluminium cables. If your product has any insulation, you need to look at that other classification.
The 761490 line includes various forms of aluminium wire and cable, such as those used in structural applications or as components in machinery. It does not cover items with a steel core, which would fall under a different classification.
When dealing with aluminium cables, it's important to ensure that they are indeed non-insulated and do not contain any steel components. Misclassification can lead to delays or penalties in customs.
