Bare Aluminum All-Aluminum-Alloy Conductor (AAAC Iris) from Japan
AAAC Iris is a stranded conductor made entirely from aluminum alloy wires (e.g., 6201 alloy), used bare for overhead electrical transmission without fittings or insulation. While alloyed, this product is often imported under related subheadings but fits the electrical conductor description; confirm alloy status. It qualifies as stranded aluminum for electrical use under 7614.90.

Import Tips
• Test reports must specify alloy composition; if non-alloyed pure Al, use 7614.90.20 exactly, else 7614.90.40—mismatch leads to penalties
• Ensure no pre-installed fittings to avoid 7614.10
