HS Code 85441900: Insulated Winding Wire

Insulated winding wire is a type of wire that is used in various electrical applications. It is commonly used in the production of transformers, motors, and other electrical equipment. This wire is designed with an insulating coating, such as enamel or anodized material, to protect the wire from damage and ensure optimal electrical conductivity.

The HS Code 85441900 specifically refers to insulated winding wire that is not made of copper. Copper is a widely used material in the electrical industry due to its excellent conductivity. However, this HS code covers insulated winding wire made from other materials.

When importing or exporting insulated winding wire, it is important to understand the tariff rates and any special tariff preference programs that may apply. The bound or most favored nation (MFN) duty rate for HS Code 85441900 is 3.9%. This means that every time a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it must do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners.

The quantity unit for this HS code is kilograms (KG). This measurement is used to determine the weight of the insulated winding wire being imported or exported.

There are several special tariff preference programs that offer duty-free treatment for insulated winding wire under HS Code 85441900. These programs include:

• Generalized System of Preferences (GSP): This program provides duty-free treatment for eligible products from various developing countries.
• Australia Special Rate: Insulated winding wire from Australia receives duty-free treatment under the Automotive Products Trade Act (APTA).
• Bahrain Special Rate: Bahrain offers duty-free treatment for insulated winding wire.
• NAFTA for Canada: Insulated winding wire imported from Canada receives duty-free treatment under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
• Chile Special Rate: Chile offers duty-free treatment for insulated winding wire.
• Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI): This program provides duty-free treatment for eligible products from countries in the Caribbean region.
• Israel Special Rate: Israel offers duty-free treatment for insulated winding wire.
