Copper Magnet Wire for Electric Motors from Japan
Insulated copper magnet wire, typically enameled, used in windings for electric motors and generators. It falls under HTS 8544.49.30 as insulated copper conductor for voltage not exceeding 1,000V, not fitted with connectors. The copper core provides high conductivity essential for motor efficiency.

Import Tips
• Verify copper purity and insulation type (e.g
• enamel, PVC) meets ASTM standards to avoid reclassification
• Include test reports confirming voltage rating under 1,000V and conductor material composition
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as bare wire (7413) without insulation documentation
