High-Strength Steel Elevator Suspension Rope
Special low-lay stranded wire rope for suspending elevator cabs, engineered for high tensile strength and minimal stretch. Meets HTS 7312.10.3020 criteria with twist ≤1 rev per 8.5 strand diameters, distinguishing it from standard ropes. Used in traction elevators for safety-critical load bearing.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as integral elevator part
If pre-fitted for elevators, it classifies under Chapter 84 as machinery parts.
If standard lay exceeding low-twist limit
Higher twist ropes for elevators fall into the broader stranded wire category.
If used for structural support in buildings
Wire for non-elevator building applications may go to 7308 as other structures.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide elevator safety certifications (e.g
• ASME A17.1) and breaking load test data to support classification and duty assessment
• Document strand count, diameter, and lay precisely—deviations can lead to 7312.10.3015 reclassification

Galvanized Steel Aircraft Control Cable
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.
