7312.90.00.00 - Other

This HTS category, 7312.90.00.00, encompasses all articles of iron or steel that fit the broad definition of stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, and slings, but are not electrically insulated, and do not fall under the more specific subheadings within 7312. Essentially, this is a residual category for these types of iron or steel products.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7312.10, which specifically covers "Stranded wire, ropes and cables." Therefore, items classified under 7312.90.00.00 are still considered stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, or slings, but they are not the primary or most commonly recognized forms covered by 7312.10. The "Other" designation signifies that these are less common or more specialized constructions of these types of products.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 7312.90.00.00 will depend on the precise construction and intended use of the article. Examples might include specialized woven or braided steel bands for cargo securing or specific configurations of steel rope not explicitly detailed in other headings. The key is that the article is made of iron or steel, is a form of stranded wire, rope, cable, plaited band, or sling, and is not electrically insulated.
