U.S. imports of Aluminum Stranded Wire & Cable Without Steel Core (NESOI) (HS 761490) totaled $11.6M in August 2026, imported from 21 countries.
Importers of Aluminum Stranded Wire & Cable Without Steel Core (NESOI) paid $6.3M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 54.11% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAll-aluminum stranded conductors — cables, plaited bands, and similar articles without a steel reinforcing core and not electrically insulated — serve distribution-level power transmission, grounding, and bare overhead conductor applications where lighter weight is prioritized over tensile strength. The US schedule further subdivides by cross-sectional area for electrical conductors (below 240 mm² under 7614902030; 240 mm² and above under 7614902060), a threshold that aligns with utility procurement specifications. Brazil leads US supply, followed by India and Canada.

The 240 mm² breakpoint in lines 7614902030 and 7614902060 mirrors a common utility industry demarcation between distribution-grade and transmission-grade conductors. From a classification standpoint, the cross-sectional area must be measured and documented on the commercial invoice and packing list; errors in stated cross-section can result in misclassification between these lines, which may carry different duty rates or trade-remedy exposure.
Both 761410 (with steel core) and 761490 (without steel core) are subject to Section 232 aluminum tariff measures on the aluminum content. However, ACSR cable under 761410 may also implicate Section 232 steel measures on the steel core component, potentially creating a dual-commodity tariff consideration. All-aluminum conductors under 761490 avoid that steel-core complication, though importers should still confirm current proclamation scope with a licensed customs broker.
