Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7408.11Lower: 13% vs 17.5%

If copper wire, not steel substrate

Pure copper base changes from steel Chapter 72 to copper Chapter 74 entirely.

7217.30Same rate: 17.5%

If 0.6% carbon or higher

Higher carbon content in same size/plating moves to 7217.30.50 subheading.

3926.90.99Higher: 22.8% vs 17.5%

If plastic-coated instead of metal

Import Tips & Compliance

Bronze plating composition must specify copper/tin ratios for 'base metal' validation

Fine wire (<0.5mm) scrutinized for wire vs. filament—end-use irrelevant

Maintain coil integrity—damaged wire may claim no duty reduction per chapter rust note
