Overview
This HTS classification, 7312.10.60.60, covers ropes and cables of iron or steel, specifically those not electrically insulated, that are not considered stranded wire and are made of stainless steel. These are distinct from stranded wire, which consists of individual wires twisted or braided together. This category captures more robust rope or cable constructions that do not fall under the specific diameter limitations of its sibling category.
The key differentiator for this "Other" designation lies in its exclusion of ropes and cables with a diameter not exceeding 9.5 mm, classified under 7312.10.60.30. Therefore, 7312.10.60.60 is for stainless steel ropes and cables of a larger diameter or constructions that are not explicitly defined by a diameter threshold in the preceding subheadings. This includes, but is not limited to, heavier-duty industrial ropes, towing cables, or mooring lines where the construction and application necessitate a classification beyond the smaller diameter variants.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level based on the material (stainless steel), the form (rope or cable, not stranded wire), and the exclusion of specific diameter ranges. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods meet all these criteria to correctly apply this classification.
