HTS heading 7605 is a four-digit product category for aluminum wire. It generally groups wire made from aluminum, with more detailed tariff lines distinguishing the product by characteristics such as the aluminum material or alloy, dimensions, and other specified types.
To choose the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the item is actually wire rather than aluminum cable, stranded conductors, bar, rod, or another form that may fall under a different heading. Then follow the subheading structure and product descriptions, usually narrowing by alloy or non-alloy material and by any required size or construction details. The complete classification should match the product as imported, and a customs broker or classification specialist may be needed when the specifications are unclear.
What to check
- Confirm the product is classified as aluminum wire, not cable, stranded wire, rod, bar, or insulated electrical conductor.
- Check the aluminum composition, including whether it is non-alloy or an identified alloy, against the technical or mill documentation.
- Measure and document the wire’s diameter or cross-sectional dimensions when the tariff description requires them.
- Review the wire’s construction, coating, insulation, temper, and intended use, but do not use intended use alone if the tariff wording does not make it relevant.
- Compare the full eight-digit description with the commercial invoice, product datasheet, and country-of-origin records; request broker or customs guidance if multiple lines appear possible.
HTS heading 7605 summary
Aluminum wire is a 4-digit product category containing 4 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.

Common questions
What products fall under HTS heading 7605?
Aluminum wire. To classify a specific item you must pick the matching sub-category and 8-digit code above; the right choice usually depends on the material and construction of the product.
How do I choose the right code within this category?
Start from the sub-categories (typically divided by material—for example cotton versus man-made fibers), then open the active 8- or 10-digit code that matches the product. When unsure, a licensed customs broker or a CBP binding ruling can confirm the classification.
