Aluminum Stranded Electrical Conductor 4/0 AWG from Mexico

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.

Import Tips

• 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
