U.S. imports of Aluminum Alloy Wire — Cross-Section Over 7 mm (HS 760521) totaled $21.0M in August 2026, imported from 11 countries.
Importers of Aluminum Alloy Wire — Cross-Section Over 7 mm paid $10.6M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 50.30% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Aluminum Alloy Wire — Cross-Section Over 7 mm imports of $21.0M in August 2026 ran 22% above the year-to-date monthly average of $17.3M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataLarge-gauge aluminum alloy wire exceeding 7 mm in cross-section is the primary feedstock for overhead transmission conductors such as ACSR and all-aluminum alloy conductor (AAAC), where alloying elements like magnesium and silicon improve tensile strength without sacrificing conductivity. Canada is the leading US supplier, with Spain and the Netherlands also among the top sources — a supplier profile that reflects both proximity and European specialty wire-rod capacity. Imports enter under 7605210000 and are subject to Section 232 tariffs; utility and grid-expansion procurement cycles drive demand volatility.

Wire rod under 7605210000 is an unstranded, uninsulated semi-finished product. Once it is stranded into a multi-wire conductor assembly — even without insulation — it typically reclassifies into a finished conductor heading. CBP looks at whether the product has been further processed beyond drawing and annealing; a single-wire coil in alloy form remains in heading 7605, while a stranded assembly does not.
The 6xxx series (particularly 6201 alloy, the standard for AAAC conductor rod) dominates this subheading. Alloy series does not create a further subdivision within 7605210000 — all alloy wire above 7 mm falls under the single 10-digit line 7605210000 regardless of specific alloy designation. However, the alloy series is commercially critical because downstream cable manufacturers specify it precisely, and a mill certificate mismatch can trigger rejection even if customs classification is correct.
