Sir,

Insulated cables will fall under heading 8544 of Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985. There are various sub-headings for paper insulated, plastic insulated and rubber insulated cables. But all of them attract the same rate of duty, that is, 12.5%

Cables of aluminum, not electrically insulated will fall under heading 7614. Cables of copper, not electrically insulated will fall under heading 7413. Cables of iron or steel, not electrically insulated will fall under heading 7312.
