12 AWG Refined Copper Bus Wire

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.

10 mm Diameter Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper Wire

Electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) copper wire with a 10.2 mm cross-sectional dimension, commonly used in transformer windings and heavy electrical connections. Classified under HTS 7408.11.30.00 due to its refined copper composition and cross-section exceeding 9.5 mm, distinguishing it from finer wires. This high-conductivity wire meets ASTM B5 standards for electrical applications.
