Alternative Classifications

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

7408.11.60.00Higher: 38% vs 17.5%

If copper content predominates by weight

Copper-clad with copper as chief material shifts to copper wire heading 7408.

7217.30Same rate: 17.5%

If containing 0.25% or more carbon

Higher carbon content in same plated round wire moves to 7217.30.40 series.

8544.11.00Higher: 38.5% vs 17.5%

If rated over 80V for electrical conduction

Electrical conductors with copper cladding may fall under Chapter 85 if voltage-rated.
