Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Use HS-6 854449 when importing or exporting insulated electric conductors designed for voltages not exceeding 1000 volts, which are not fitted with connectors. For example, a shipment of bare copper wire intended for residential electrical installations would fall under this code.
This subheading focuses on insulated conductors without connectors, distinguishing them from HS-6 854442, which covers similar conductors but with connectors attached. If your product includes connectors, you’ll need to classify it differently.
The HS-6 854449 line specifically includes insulated wires and cables that are suitable for various electrical applications, such as wiring in homes, offices, or machinery. These conductors are typically packaged in spools or coils for ease of handling.
When considering related classifications, note that HS-6 854450 covers optical fibre cables, which are distinct from the insulated electric conductors in this line. Ensure you identify the correct type of conductor to avoid misclassification.
