8544.49.30.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8544.49.30.80, encompasses a broad range of insulated electrical conductors made of copper, specifically those designed for voltages not exceeding 1,000 volts. It serves as a residual classification for copper conductors that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the "other" designation at this level. Examples include insulated copper wires and cables of various constructions and cross-sectional areas, provided they meet the voltage and material requirements.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8544.49.30.40, which specifically covers insulated copper conductors rated for a voltage exceeding 600 volts. Therefore, the current classification applies to copper conductors with a voltage rating at or below 600 volts, as well as those with a voltage rating above 600 volts up to and including 1,000 volts that are not otherwise specified. The defining characteristic is the material (copper) and the voltage capacity of the conductor.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8544.49.30.80 is determined by the exclusion of the item from more specific classifications at higher levels of the tariff schedule and its inclusion within the general scope of insulated copper conductors for use with voltages not exceeding 1,000 volts. The final determination relies on a thorough review of the product's specifications against the established hierarchical structure.
