7312.10

Analysis

Subheading 7312.10 covers stranded wire, ropes and cables, within heading 7312. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 9 US tariff lines below it are national.

Every one of its 9 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.

Its 9 lines start with 7312.10.05 (fitted with fittings or made up into articles), 7312.10.10 (of stainless steel: other), 7312.10.20 (fitted with fittings or made up into articles) and 7312.10.30 (other: other); the full list is in the table below.

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (332618), Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills (314994) and Other Aluminum Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331318). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
