Open Coil Nichrome Heater Wire from Japan
Exposed nichrome resistance wire coiled for convective heating in toasters, convection ovens, and space heaters for home use. HTS 8516.80.8000 covers these as other electric heating resistors for domestic purposes, excluding semiconductor or carbon film types in 8545. Operates at 1000-1500°C surface temperature.

Import Tips
• Include oxidation resistance test data as nichrome degrades over time; specify wire gauge (18-24 AWG) and coil pitch in invoices; avoid coiling too tightly to prevent hot spots during customs inspection
