Last updated: July 2026 dataNAICS 335929 captures manufacturers of insulated copper and aluminum wire and cable used in power distribution, building wiring, automotive harnesses, and telecommunications — everything in the wire and cable space that is not fiber optic. Copper conductor pricing is a dominant cost driver, creating significant exposure to London Metal Exchange fluctuations and making hedging strategies a standard part of procurement. Several product lines within this category have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, particularly for aluminum conductor and copper wire imports from specific origins.

7.1K shipments/mo
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have covered products such as aluminum conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR), copper wire rod, and certain insulated wire from multiple countries. The specific orders in effect change over time as Commerce Department reviews proceed, so importers should query the USITC and Commerce AD/CVD database for current orders applicable to their specific HTS subheading before finalizing sourcing decisions.
HTS Chapter 85 classifies insulated wire and cable by conductor material (copper vs. aluminum vs. other), cross-sectional area, voltage rating, and whether the product is fitted with connectors. Getting these specifications wrong at entry can result in misclassification, incorrect duty payment, and potential penalties — making pre-import binding ruling requests a useful risk-management tool for high-volume wire importers.
