Cupro-Nickel Thermocouple Wire Type T
This is a bare cupro-nickel wire used in Type T thermocouples for temperature measurement in industrial and laboratory settings. It falls under HTS 7408.22.50.00 as it is made from copper-nickel base alloys (with nickel predominating over other elements and zinc under 1%) and is not coated or plated with metal.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from copper-zinc base alloys (brass)
Brass wire (zinc predominant, nickel <5%, tin <3%) falls under a different copper alloy subheading.
If refined copper without alloying elements
Pure copper wire (not alloyed) is classified under the refined copper wire heading in Chapter 74.
If insulated for electrical use
Insulated copper alloy wire is classified as insulated electric conductors under Chapter 85, not bare wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide alloy composition certificates confirming nickel predominance and zinc <1% to verify copper-nickel base alloy status
• Ensure wire diameter and temper specs match statistical reporting requirements; uncoated status must be documented
• Avoid misclassification as nickel silver by testing for nickel content ≥5%; common pitfall is incorrect elemental analysis
