Aluminum Stranded Wire Sling with Steel Core and Shackles from Canada
This heavy-duty lifting sling is made from stranded aluminum wire with a central steel core for added strength, fitted with forged steel shackles at each end for secure attachment. It falls under HTS 7614.10.50.00 because it is an aluminum cable made up into a ready-to-use article with fittings, specifically designed for industrial rigging and crane operations. The steel core reinforces tensile strength while the aluminum strands provide lightweight corrosion resistance.
