Import Tips
• Because this cable combines fiber optic and copper conductors, clearly document the voltage rating of the copper portion to justify classification under 8544.42.00
• The armored construction may affect the cable's weight and value, so ensure these are accurately declared
• If the cable is used in a telecommunications network, consider whether it qualifies for any end-use duty relief programs
