Import Tips
• Provide temperature rating certifications; silicone wire often scrutinized for actual vs claimed heat resistance
• Include AWG size and stranding details; customs verifies if 'wire' vs 'cable' based on construction
• Avoid generic 'high temp wire' descriptions; specify insulation material to prevent reclassification
