Class 200 Nomex Paper Covered Copper Winding Wire from Germany
Class 200 Nomex paper covered copper winding wire is an insulated winding wire with a paper-based insulation system rated for 200°C, used in large power transformers. Although the conductor is copper, the Nomex paper insulation means it is not covered by the copper-specific subheading 8544.11. It is correctly classified under 8544.19.00 as 'other' insulated winding wire.

Import Tips
• Document the insulation type (Nomex paper) and thermal class clearly on shipping documents
• Since the conductor is copper but insulation is paper, be prepared to explain why 8544.11 does not apply
• Check if the wire qualifies for duty-free entry under the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariff if originating from a WTO member
