How We Support USA Projects

A credible alternative to China

China-origin cable carries Section 301 duties that Indian-origin cable does not. India also offers a second production base outside a single region.

NEC fire ratings

Cable installed in US buildings must carry the NEC rating for its location — CMP for plenum, CMR for riser, CM or CMG for general use. Channeltech does not currently hold NEC listings; if your programme needs one, talk to us about the certification route and timeline.

Documentation for US customs

Commercial invoices, packing lists and country-of-origin details prepared for US entry, including the copper-content information importers now report.

Engineering-led OEM programmes

Custom constructions, print legends and packaging, with batch test data supplied in your format.

Duty and trade agreements

As of October 2026, imported copper data cable is subject to a 25% Section 232 duty on copper derivatives, whatever its origin. China-origin cable also carries Section 301 duties, which makes total duty on Chinese cable materially higher than on Indian-origin cable. US tariff rules have changed several times in 2026, so confirm current rates for your HTS line with your customs broker before costing a programme.

FAQ

Questions from USA Buyers

How long does it take to ship CAT6A cable from India to the US?+
Port-to-port sea transit from Nhava Sheva is roughly 22–25 days to New York / New Jersey via Suez (up to about 40 days via the Cape of Good Hope) and about 30–35 days to Los Angeles / Long Beach. Add 3–4 weeks of production from order confirmation.
Is Indian-made cable cheaper to import into the US than Chinese cable?+
In duty terms, generally yes. As of October 2026, both pay the 25% Section 232 duty on copper derivatives, but China-origin cable also pays Section 301 duties that Indian-origin cable does not. Rates have changed repeatedly in 2026, so confirm with your customs broker.
Does Channeltech cable meet NEC requirements?+
Installed cable in US buildings must carry the NEC rating for its location: CMP for plenum, CMR for riser, CM or CMG for general use. Channeltech achieved ETL certification on first attempt for CAT6A S/FTP, but does not currently hold NEC listings. If your programme needs a listed construction, talk to us about the certification route and timeline.
Do you offer flexible minimum order quantities for US OEMs?+
Yes. We schedule pilot runs and volume production to your programme, without forcing large minimum orders.
