Aluminum Stranded Electrical Conductor 4/0 AWG

This is a stranded aluminum wire cable designed specifically for use as an overhead electrical conductor in power transmission lines, composed of multiple aluminum strands without any electrical insulation or fittings. It falls under HTS 7614.90.20 as it is an uninsulated stranded aluminum wire classified as an electrical conductor, not made up into articles. The pure aluminum composition meets the chapter note for non-alloyed aluminum with high purity.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7614.90.40Same rate: 79.9%

If made of aluminum alloys

Chapter notes define aluminum alloys as Al-dominant but with other elements exceeding 1% total or specific limits, shifting from non-alloyed stranded wire.

8544.49.20Lower: 38.5% vs 79.9%

If electrically insulated

Insulated aluminum electrical conductors, even stranded, are classified in Chapter 85 under heading 8544 for insulated wires and cables.

7614.10Lower: 14.9% vs 79.9%

If fitted with connectors or made into slings

Subheading 7614.10 covers stranded aluminum with fittings or made up into articles like slings, unlike bare conductors here.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify aluminum purity meets non-alloyed definition (99%+ Al) per chapter notes to avoid reclassification as alloy; provide mill test certificates confirming electrical conductivity standards like ASTM B231

Common pitfall: failing to distinguish from insulated wires which shift to Chapter 85
