This stranded wire consists of 19 strands of stainless steel twisted with a lay of less than 1 revolution per 8.5 times the strand diameter, ideal for aircraft control cables and guy wires. Classified under HTS 7312.10.1050 due to its specific low-lay twist and stainless steel composition, distinguishing it from ropes or more twisted cables.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify strand count and lay measurement per specs to confirm HTS 7312.10.1050 classification; incorrect twist can shift to 7312.10.0505

Provide mill test certificates proving stainless steel grade (e.g

316) and wire diameter under 16mm to avoid reclassification

Label as 'stranded wire, not rope' to prevent customs disputes over twist definition
