12 AWG Refined Copper Bus Wire from Canada

This is a straight length of refined copper wire with a 10 mm diameter cross-section, used primarily in electrical bus bar applications for power distribution. It falls under HTS 7408.11.30.00 because it is made of refined copper and has a maximum cross-sectional dimension over 9.5 mm, exceeding the 6 mm threshold for this subheading. The wire is typically supplied in coils or straight lengths for industrial assembly.

Import Tips

Verify copper purity certification (refined vs. unrefined) as it determines Chapter 74 classification; request mill test reports

Measure and document exact cross-sectional dimension before shipment to confirm >9.5 mm and avoid reclassification to thinner wire subheadings

Include end-use declaration if for electrical applications to prevent misclassification as copper bars under 7407
