U.S. imports of stranded wire, ropes & cables of iron or steel (non-electrically insulated) (HS 731210) totaled $73.4M in April 2026, traded with 55 countries.
Importers of Stranded Wire, Ropes & Cables of Iron or Steel (Non-Electrically Insulated) paid $31.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 47% on $66.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Stranded Wire, Ropes & Cables of Iron or Steel (Non-Electrically Insulated) imports of $73.4M in April 2026 ran 12% above the year-to-date monthly average of $65.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataStranded wire, ropes, and cables of iron or steel — excluding electrically insulated products — serve construction, mining, marine, automotive, and infrastructure applications, with product distinctions driven by alloy (stainless vs. carbon steel), surface treatment (galvanized, brass-plated), and end-use specification (prestressing concrete strand, tire cord, ACSR core strand). The heading carries a broad set of US tariff lines reflecting these distinctions, including stainless steel stranded wire fitted with fittings (7312100500), tire cord (7312101030 and 7312103005), prestressing concrete strand across multiple lines, galvanized ACSR core strand (7312103065), and ropes and cables by diameter and alloy. Vietnam leads US imports under this heading, with China and Thailand also major sources; these origins are subject to antidumping and Section 232 trade-remedy scrutiny that importers must track carefully.

Prestressing strand — high-tensile steel wire twisted into a multi-wire configuration for use in post-tensioned and pre-tensioned concrete — is broken into several lines based on surface covering (textile or non-metallic covered vs. bare) and residual categories (7312103010, 7312103012, 7312103015). The granularity reflects both technical specification differences and the history of trade-remedy proceedings targeting specific grades of prestressing strand.
Both Vietnam and China — the top two suppliers under this heading — have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on certain steel wire rope and strand products. Section 232 tariffs on steel articles may also apply. Importers should check the current scope of any active antidumping or countervailing duty orders and confirm country-of-origin documentation, as transshipment through third countries has been a compliance concern in this product category.
