HS Code 7413.00 – Copper; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, not electrically insulated
HS code 7413.00 is the 6-digit subheading for copper, stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, not electrically insulated. It is used for bare copper stranded wire, copper grounding cable, copper busbar braid, copper overhead conductor and copper flexible connectors.
What HS 7413.00 covers
This HS code covers uninsulated stranded wire, cables, plaited bands, and similar products made of copper. These items are fundamental in various industries for their excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. Unlike insulated wires, these are typically used where insulation is applied later, or in applications where insulation is not required, such as grounding, overhead power lines, or as raw material for further processing into insulated cables. Major importers are countries with significant electrical infrastructure projects, manufacturing of electrical machinery, and telecommunications development. Exporters include nations with substantial copper refining and wire drawing capabilities, such as China, Germany, and the United States. Key trade considerations involve the conductor's cross-sectional area, the number and diameter of individual strands, the temper of the copper, and adherence to relevant electrical and mechanical standards.

Codes often confused with 7413.00
Common mistake. This code is crucial to distinguish from 8544 (insulated electric conductors), as the "not electrically insulated" aspect is the primary differentiator. It also differs from 7408 (copper wire, not stranded) by the stranded nature of the product.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 741300, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 741300 in UN Comtrade data was Türkiye, with 22% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Mexico, with 9.7% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
