Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If significant tin or other elements present
Other copper-zinc alloys not meeting strict brass criteria fall under the residual copper-zinc subheading.
If intended for jewelry fabrication
Unwrought precious metal alloys including copper have different classifications in Chapter 71.
If processed into bars/profiles
Once wrought into bars or profiles exceeding certain dimensions, moves from unwrought to Chapter 74 heading 7407.
