Import Tips
• Verify copper purity exceeds 99.99% with mill test certificates to confirm refined status and avoid misclassification as alloy
• Ensure documentation specifies 'wire bar' form and end-use for wire drawing to comply with unwrought definitions
• Check for free trade agreement eligibility like USMCA, as refined copper often qualifies for reduced duties
