Code 8544 60 · Heading 8544

Insulated electrical conductors for over 1,000 V, not otherwise specified

This code covers insulated electrical conductors for voltage over 1,000 V that are not otherwise specified in the supplied tariff categories. It is for conductors outside the named classes such as winding wire, coaxial cables, vehicle cables, conductors for voltage <= 1,000 V and optical fibre cables.

For example

An insulated high-voltage copper electrical conductor for over 1,000 V, not a winding wire, coaxial cable, vehicle, ship or aircraft cable, conductor for voltage <= 1,000 V, or optical fibre cable
An insulated high-voltage aluminium electrical conductor for over 1,000 V, not a winding wire, coaxial cable, vehicle, ship or aircraft cable, conductor for voltage <= 1,000 V, or optical fibre cable

This is the catch-all under 8544: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.

This is the remainder for insulated electrical conductors for over 1,000 V in the parent group when they are not winding wire, coaxial cables, vehicle, ship or aircraft cables, conductors for voltage <= 1,000 V, or optical fibre cables.
