U.S. imports of insulated electric conductors ≤80 v, without connectors, nesoi (HS 854449) totaled $347.7M in April 2026, traded with 69 countries.
Importers of Insulated Electric Conductors ≤80 V, Without Connectors, NESOI paid $35.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 22% on $163.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLow-voltage insulated conductors rated at or below 80 V and supplied without pre-fitted connectors serve as primary inputs for telecommunications infrastructure, automotive sub-harnesses, and consumer electronics wiring. The US schedule subdivides this heading by application and conductor material, with dedicated lines for telecom-grade wire (8544491000), copper conductors above 600 V (8544493040), copper conductors at or below 600 V (8544493080), and additional NESOI lines. Mexico leads US import supply, with South Korea and Canada also significant sources — South Korean supply may benefit from KORUS preferential treatment depending on origin qualification.

Within 854449, the US schedule separates copper conductors rated above 600 V (8544493040) from those rated at or below 600 V (8544493080). This distinction affects duty treatment and can also be relevant for compliance with NEC or UL listing requirements that importers may need to document for downstream customers.
The controlling factor is whether the conductor is fitted with connectors at the time of importation. Wire imported on reels or in bulk without attached connectors falls under 854449, while the same wire pre-terminated with connectors would be classified under 854442. If connectors are added domestically after importation, the wire is classified in its unconnected state.
