Aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated), other than steel core

HS code 761490 covers a diverse range of aluminium products used in various industries. These include stranded wire, cables, plaited bands, and other similar aluminium items that are not electrically insulated. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential components for infrastructure, transportation, and electrical applications. Its importance extends across sectors, contributing to the overall growth and development of the broader economy.

The production of the items covered under HS code 761490 typically involves a multi-step process. Aluminium is first extracted from bauxite ore through a refining process, and then shaped into the desired forms, such as wires, cables, or plaited bands. These products may be further processed, including drawing, twisting, or braiding, to achieve the required specifications and properties. Advanced manufacturing techniques, including computer-controlled machinery and quality control measures, ensure the consistent production of high-quality aluminium products.

The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 761490 include raw aluminium, which is the primary material, as well as various tools and machinery for shaping, forming, and finishing the products. Specialized equipment, such as wire-drawing machines, cable-making machines, and braiding machines, are essential for the efficient and precise manufacturing of these aluminium goods. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production facilities.

The products covered under HS code 761490 are widely used in a variety of industries. These aluminium items are often incorporated into 854420 Electric conductors, for a voltage exceeding 1,000 V, not fitted with connectors, 854442 Electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, fitted with connectors, and 731210 Stranded wire, ropes and cables, of iron or steel, not electrically insulated, among others. The versatility of these aluminium products allows them to be utilized in infrastructure projects, transportation systems, and electrical installations, contributing to the overall development and modernization of various sectors.
