Import Tips
• Verify copper purity and strand count via mill test reports to confirm classification under 7413.00.10.00 and avoid reclassification as insulated wire
• Ensure no electrical insulation or fittings are present; even thin coatings can shift to Chapter 85 headings
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'not electrically insulated' and intended mechanical/grounding use to prevent customs holds
