Copper-Clad Brass Welding Wire from Japan
Copper-clad brass welding wire consists of a brass core pressure-bonded with pure copper cladding, designed for specialized MIG welding electrodes. The brass core meets the definition of a copper-zinc base alloy (brass) under subheading note 1(a), and the copper cladding makes it a metal-coated copper alloy wire. It is classified under tariff item 7408.29.00 as 'other' copper alloy wire.

Import Tips
• Ensure the brass core composition meets the brass definition (zinc predominates over other elements, nickel <5%, tin <3%) to qualify for this tariff item
• Declare the copper cladding as a metal coating, as it affects classification under 7408.29.00
• Keep mill certificates or composition analysis to support the alloy classification if requested by CBSA
