7mm Diameter Refined Copper Electrical Wire from Japan
This is a straight length of refined copper wire with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 7mm, used primarily for electrical conduction in power distribution applications. It falls under HTS 7408.11.60.00 because it is made of refined copper and its dimension exceeds 6mm but does not exceed 9.5mm. The wire is uncoated and suitable for heavy-duty wiring installations.

Import Tips
• Verify copper purity meets 'refined copper' standards (≥99.85% Cu) with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Measure and document exact cross-sectional dimension; slight variations can shift to adjacent subheadings like 7408.11.30.00
• Ensure no insulating coating is applied, as insulated wire classifies under Chapter 85 (HTS 8544)
