74.13 Stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, of copper, not electrically insulated.
The Explanatory Note to heading 73.12 applies, mutatis mutandis, to this heading. Because of its excellent electric conductivity, copper is commonly used in the manufacture of electric wires and cables; these remain in the heading whether or not with a core of steel or other metal, provided the copper predominates by weight (see Note 7 to Section XV). However, the heading does not cover insulated electric wire and cable (heading 85.44).
