Nickel-Chromium 80/20 Resistance Wire
Nichrome 80/20 (80% nickel, 20% chromium) wire is the standard for electrical heating elements in toasters, ovens, and industrial furnaces due to its high resistivity and oxidation resistance. Not cold-formed, it classifies under HTS 7505.22.50.00 as nickel alloy wire.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copper-nickel constantan for thermocouples
Copper-nickel thermocouple wire classifies under copper Chapter 74.
If pre-stranded for ignition wiring
Stranded ignition wire becomes insulated electrical conductor under Chapter 85.
If when shaped into heating coils for retail
Fabricated heating elements classify as millstones/abrasives? No - actually Chapter 85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify electrical resistivity values in documentation to confirm resistance wire purpose
• Avoid bundling with insulators to prevent classification as complete heating elements
