Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tin content reaches 3% or more
Per subheading note (b), tin-dominant or 3%+ tin alloys become copper-tin base bronzes.
If nickel content 5% or more
Nickel silvers require minimum 5% nickel content per subheading note (c).
If ferro-copper alloy
Ferrous alloys containing copper classified in Chapter 72.
