Galvanized Steel Aircraft Control Cable from Canada
This stranded steel wire cable is used in aircraft control systems for throttle, aileron, and elevator linkages. It features a low lay or twist of not more than 1 revolution per 8.5 times the strand diameter, classifying it under HTS 7312.10.3020 as non-electrically insulated stranded wire of iron or steel. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance essential for aviation environments.

Import Tips
• Verify strand diameter and lay/twist measurements against the 8.5x multiplier to confirm HTS 7312.10.3020 classification; provide engineering specs in documentation
• Obtain aerospace certification documents like FAA approvals and ensure galvanized coating compliance with ASTM standards to avoid reclassification
