More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cable has rubber or plastic insulation
Insulated welding cable is classified as an insulated conductor in Chapter 85.
If the product is a single solid conductor
Solid wire is not stranded wire and falls under heading 74.08.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the cable is not insulated and has no connectors—welding cable with lugs would be classified elsewhere
• Keep records of copper content for duty calculation
• Check if the cable is part of a welding machine set, which may affect classification
