7614
Stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, including slings and similar articles, of aluminum, not electrically insulated
Analysis
Heading 7614 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, including slings and similar articles, of aluminum, not electrically insulated. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 6 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 5 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 4.9% to 5.7% with a median of 4.9%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 7614.90 (other, 3 lines) and 7614.10 (with steel core, 2 lines).
Its median rate of 4.9% sits at the 65th percentile of the headings in chapter 76.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Aluminum Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding (331318). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
