I've never been asked that either.
Last purchase was of a lower value and they asked me to pay import duties- VAT etc - with the order, I ticked the box to say I did not want to, and would pay later on import. I got lucky and was not charged, not a lot, only £15 or so, but every little helps!!

Bought some of this last week:
SAEC AC-3003
3 core high quality power cable with PC Triple C conductor.
SAEC's new AC-3003 is a 2Sq, 3-core, high-quality power cable that uses PC Triple C conductors. The AC-3000 continues to be a long-seller as a single power cable that combines high quality and cost performance. The AC-3003 has improved the number of conductors from 2 cores to 3 cores while maintaining its quality and ease of handling.
By realizing a 3-core structure with a cross-sectional area of 2mm² using 0.26mm x 37 pieces of PC-Triple C without increasing the outer diameter unnecessarily, you can easily make your own high-quality power cable with ground wiring.
This is a power cable that allows you to experience the high conduction characteristics of the dedicated audio conductor PC-Triple C.

searching for internal triple c tonearm wire i bought this earphone cable. triple c wrapped in Silk thread.  Are you gonna have a bash at rewiring one yourself? Good luck. You're gonna need it 😬 |

The photos do not appear to have any shields, so the size seems good for preamp or digital, but the HiFi-designed mains leads I've looked at tend to have shielding.
Also there is the AC-6000 which is shielded and about 3.5mm2, Triple-C so may be useful for amplifiers. I'm curious what you've found and what current favourites are. The search function comes up with nothing though I don't quite trust it.

As of yet, none.. The csable arrived and i planned to put it on the Parasound, but then i had that issue of a channel crackling so i never did anything with it. It will be used on the Aqvox, but i expect it to be as good as the Acoustic Revive stuff i bought. My mains cables don't have a shield. I have never written about it due to the absolutely upheld belief that mains cables should be shielded, and the subsequent furore that would follow. A belief i shared until recently i must say. The other reason for not sharing is that i am aware that most people don't have Carte Blanche in their listening space and may not be able to do what i have done, which is to completely separate the mains from any signal cable. All of my cabling is only just long enough to make the link it needs to. RCAs, mains, digital...They don't get near each other, except for the DAC mains and the DAC Rca-Preamp link, but they cross at 90 degrees and still have space between them. It works really well, but the reason to abandon the shield is due to a reduction in dynamics. I didn't believe it until i tried it, but now i am absolutely convinced of the result. |

FINALLY - he's out! I haven't tried it with any PC-CCC stuff but running unshielded power cable to my Logans does make them sound different . . . . I will be doing something similar to Oli in the future (surprise surprise) . . . but a few other areas need addressing first. Running mains power cables close to and especially parallel to signal cables, is just bad. |

Behind my rack is not exactly a rats nest BUT I'm so aware cables are all too close to each other, some touching a bit and it bugs my OCD nature so I'll address, somehow, one day, when time permits. |

So what are you favouring for amplifier mains these days? The AC-3003 seems possibly a little small for that application. |

It's not so much some think it doesn't matter, but it's situation-dependant. Bear in mind the cables have to be almost touching for there to be even a chance for any interference to happen. An inch apart or cross them at 90 degrees is plenty good enough. |
