Heading 7614 : Stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, of aluminium, not electrically insulated.
The Explanatory Note relating to heading 73.12 applies, mutatis mutandis, to this heading. Since they are light and good conductors of electricity, aluminium and the aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloys such as "almelec" and "aldrey" are often used in place of copper in the construction of electric wires and cables. Aluminium cables may have a core of steel or other metal provided the aluminium predominates by weight (see Note 7 to Section XV). However, the heading excludes insulated electric wire and cable (heading 85.44).
