U.S. imports of aluminum alloy wire — cross-section 7 mm or less (HS 760529) totaled $3.2M in July 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Importers of Aluminum Alloy Wire — Cross-Section 7 mm or Less paid $769K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 52% on $1.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFine-gauge aluminum alloy wire at or below 7 mm maximum cross-section is widely used in automotive wiring harnesses, magnet wire applications, and specialty cable assemblies where alloy strength allows thinner gauges than pure aluminum. Canada and Mexico lead US supply under this heading, consistent with deep automotive supply-chain integration under USMCA; China is also a significant source. All imports enter under 7605290000 and are subject to Section 232 tariffs, with Chinese-origin material potentially carrying additional Section 301 exposure.

Weight reduction is the primary driver: aluminum alloy wire at equivalent current-carrying capacity is significantly lighter than copper, which matters for fuel economy and EV range targets. The alloy formulation (typically 1xxx or 8xxx series for electrical use) is engineered to balance conductivity with the tensile strength needed to survive vibration and connector termination in vehicle harnesses. This shift has made fine-gauge aluminum alloy wire a growth segment tied directly to automotive electrification trends.
To qualify for USMCA preferential treatment, the wire must meet the applicable tariff shift rule or regional value content requirement set out in the agreement's Annex for Chapter 76. For aluminum wire, this generally requires that the aluminum used in production originate within the USMCA region or that sufficient transformation occur within the region. Importers should obtain a USMCA certificate of origin from the supplier and retain supporting production records to substantiate the claim during a CBP audit.
