Stranded Wire, Cables & Similar Articles of Copper, Not Electrically Insulated

Copper stranded wire and cable without electrical insulation serves as a critical input for grounding systems, overhead transmission lines, and structural reinforcement in construction and power infrastructure. The US schedule subdivides this heading into bare stranded wire not fitted with fittings (7413001000), other cable and similar articles not made into articles (7413005000), and stranded wire fitted with fittings or made into articles (7413009000). Mexico leads US supply, followed by India and Turkey, reflecting both proximity-driven manufacturing and competitive copper-drawing capacity in those markets. Importers should note that copper articles broadly are subject to Section 232 tariff considerations, making origin documentation and tariff engineering particularly important for high-volume cable shipments.
