HTS heading 7614 is a four-digit product category for certain aluminum wire products that are made from multiple strands or similar elements. It covers stranded wire, cables, plaited bands, slings, and comparable articles of aluminum when they are not electrically insulated. The heading describes the product at a broad level; it does not by itself provide the complete tariff classification.
To reach the specific eight-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s physical construction and intended form. Review the more detailed subheadings and statistical provisions under heading 7614, which commonly distinguish products by type, construction, or other stated characteristics. Confirm that the item is aluminum, is not electrically insulated, and is not better classified elsewhere, such as as an insulated electrical conductor or a different finished aluminum article.
What to check
- Identify the item’s exact construction: stranded wire, cable, plaited band, sling, or another similar article.
- Confirm that aluminum is the relevant material and document the alloy or composition if the tariff provisions request it.
- Check whether the product has electrical insulation, a coating, fittings, or another feature that could change its classification.
- Read every subheading and statistical description under heading 7614; do not stop at the four-digit heading.
- Compare the product’s technical specifications, drawings, packaging, and intended use with the HTSUS wording, and obtain customs-broker or ruling assistance if the distinction is unclear.

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.
