7614.90.20.60/Aluminum Stranded Conductor ACSR Drake/Mexico

Aluminum Stranded Conductor ACSR Drake from Mexico

This is a stranded aluminum conductor with steel reinforcement (ACSR) featuring a cross-sectional area of approximately 253 mm², commonly used in overhead power transmission lines. It falls under HTS 7614.90.20.60 as it is an uninsulated electrical conductor made of aluminum strands, not fitted with fittings or made up into articles. The large cross-section meets the >=240 mm² requirement for high-voltage applications.

Import Tips

• Verify aluminum purity meets non-alloyed or alloyed definitions per chapter notes; provide mill test certificates for conductor composition

• Ensure accurate measurement and documentation of cross-sectional area to avoid misclassification into smaller size subheadings

• Comply with electrical standards like ASTM B232; common pitfall is failing to declare steel core content separately if applicable
