More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 9.5mm but not 12.7mm
This sibling tariff item covers refined copper wire of a larger dimension, so wires over 9.5mm would be classified here.
If the wire is made of a copper alloy rather than refined copper
Copper alloy wire falls under subheading 7408.19, as the definition of refined copper in Chapter Note 1(a) would not apply.
If the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 12.7mm
This sibling tariff item covers refined copper wire exceeding 12.7mm, which would be classified here instead.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the wire's corrosion-resistant properties do not come from a coating or plating that would change its classification; bare refined copper wire is required for this item
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing copper purity of at least 99.85% by weight
• Confirm the wire is in coil form and has not been further worked
