99.5% Pure Aluminum Electrical Wire from Japan
This is high-purity aluminum wire (over 99% aluminum by weight) used in electrical applications such as winding coils for motors and transformers. It falls under HTS 7605.19.00.00 as it is aluminum wire, not alloyed, and not specifically for aerospace use. The wire's cross-section is typically under 6mm, meeting chapter definitions.

Import Tips
• Verify aluminum purity exceeds 99% by weight with lab certification to confirm non-alloyed status per chapter notes
• Include mill test reports documenting Fe+Si content below 0.1% to avoid reclassification as alloy
• Check if wire diameter exceeds 6mm, as it may shift to other headings outside subheading 7616.91 scope
