Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the insulation type (oil-impregnated varnished cambric) and voltage rating to support classification under 8544.49.00
• Since this is a niche product, provide clear product photos and technical specs to CBSA
• Ensure the wire is not part of a larger article, which could shift classification under Section XVI notes
