Import Tips
• Document the phosphor content (typically less than 0.3%) to prove the wire is still refined copper, not a copper alloy
• Note that wire for plumbing fittings may be subject to additional standards, but these do not affect tariff classification
• Ensure the wire is not further worked into articles, which would change its classification
