Not fitted with fittings and not made up into articles: stranded wire

Analysis

HTS 7413.00.10 covers not fitted with fittings and not made up into articles: stranded wire under heading 7413 (stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, including slings and similar articles…).

The general duty rate is 3% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 74 (74th percentile of 89 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $300 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Within this group the rate runs from 2% to 3%. Compared with 7413.00.50 (not fitted with fittings and not made up into articles: other), which pays 2%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 1 percentage points.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 11.7 times the general rate.
