Last updated: July 2026 dataBare aluminum stranded wire, ropes, and cables — including all-aluminum conductor (AAC) and aluminum conductor steel-reinforced (ACSR) types used in overhead power transmission — are a foundational product for electric utility infrastructure. Aluminum's conductivity-to-weight advantage over copper makes it the dominant material for long-span overhead lines, and imports are subject to Section 232 tariffs on aluminum articles. Importers should distinguish these bare conductors from insulated aluminum cable, which is classified separately and may be subject to antidumping orders.

All-aluminum conductor (AAC) consists entirely of aluminum strands, while aluminum conductor steel-reinforced (ACSR) incorporates a steel core for added tensile strength. Both are bare (non-insulated) stranded aluminum products and generally fall within this heading. However, the composite construction of ACSR may require additional description on entry documentation to confirm the aluminum content and overall construction for accurate classification.
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically covered certain aluminum conductor products from specific countries. Importers should search the CBP ADD/CVD database and consult a licensed customs broker to determine whether active orders cover their specific product form and country of origin before committing to a supply contract.
