1.6mm Copper-Plated Silico-Manganese MAG Welding Wire from Japan
1.6 mm diameter copper-coated round wire from silico-manganese steel (carbon <0.20%, manganese >0.9%, silicon >0.6%), engineered for MAG electric arc welding in heavy fabrication. Copper layer prevents oxidation and improves wire feeding. Fits HTS 7229.20.0010 for its alloy composition, cross-section, size limit, and plating.

Import Tips
• Certify wire as 'suitable for electric arc welding' via manufacturer specs to match statistical suffix
• Declare plating method (electroplating typical) and coverage percentage (>90% usually required)
• Segregate imports by exact diameter; ≤1.6mm threshold is strict for this subheading
