1.2mm Phosphorized Refined Copper Wire from Mexico
Refined copper wire with a trace phosphor deoxidizer, 1.2mm diameter, used for plumbing fittings. It still classifies under tariff item 7408.19.00 as refined copper wire, as the phosphor content is below the threshold that would make it a copper alloy under Chapter 74 notes.

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
