Nickel-Chromium 80/20 Resistance Wire from Japan
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
