HS Code 7614.10 – Aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated), with steel core
HS code 7614.10 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated), with steel core. It is used for ACSR (Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced) cables, overhead power transmission lines, high-voltage power lines, electrical utility cables and bare overhead conductors.
What HS 7614.10 covers
This HS code pertains to uninsulated aluminium stranded wires, cables, and plaited bands that incorporate a steel core. These conductors are primarily utilized in overhead power transmission lines, forming the backbone of electrical grids worldwide. The steel core provides exceptional tensile strength, enabling longer spans between transmission towers and enhanced resistance to environmental stressors like wind and ice. The outer aluminium strands ensure excellent electrical conductivity and a lighter overall weight compared to all-steel alternatives. Major importers include national power grids, utility companies, and large-scale infrastructure development projects. Exporters are specialized cable and wire manufacturers. Critical trade considerations involve conductor size, strand configuration, voltage ratings, and strict compliance with national and international electrical codes and standards, making them essential for modern energy distribution.

Codes often confused with 7614.10
Common mistake. Can be confused with 761490 (aluminium stranded wire without steel core) or 8544.60 (insulated electrical conductors), but 761410 is specifically *uninsulated* and *with a steel core*.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 761410, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 761410 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 39% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 21% 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 marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
