Last updated: April 2026 dataNon-electrically-insulated stranded wire, ropes, and cables of iron or steel are structural and mechanical products central to construction, mining, marine, and lifting equipment industries. Steel wire rope and strand are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and certain product forms have also been the subject of antidumping and countervailing duty orders from multiple origins, making duty-order research a critical step before sourcing. Classification within this heading depends on construction details — number of strands, wire diameter, and surface treatment — that must be accurately described in entry documentation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Steel wire rope and related strand products have been subject to antidumping and/or countervailing duty orders covering imports from several countries. Importers must check the current scope of active orders with the US International Trade Commission and CBP's ADD/CVD database before finalizing supplier contracts, as scope determinations can be product-specific.
CBP classification of stranded steel wire products typically requires documentation of strand count, individual wire diameter, overall cable diameter, surface treatment (galvanized, coated, or bright), and whether the product is electrically insulated. Insulated wire is excluded from this heading and classified elsewhere, so insulation status must be clearly stated on the commercial invoice.
