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
