0.5mm Annealed Low Carbon Wire from China
Soft annealed round steel wire, 0.5mm diameter, <0.25% carbon, non-plated for fine wire applications like electronics harnesses and jewelry making. The annealing process softens for better formability without affecting HTS classification. Meets 7217.10.40 criteria for size and composition.

Import Tips
• Annealing doesn't change classification but ensure documentation shows no chemical coatings applied during process
• Fine wires prone to tangling; proper spooling/packaging prevents damage claims denial per chapter notes on rust
• Test for carbon content uniformity; spot variations can lead to entire lot reclassification
