Nickel-Chromium 80/20 Resistance Wire from China

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.

Import Tips

Specify electrical resistivity values in documentation to confirm resistance wire purpose

Avoid bundling with insulators to prevent classification as complete heating elements
