Alternative Classifications

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

7403.21.00.00Same rate: 26%

If zinc predominant over nickel

Shifts to copper-zinc base alloys (brasses) per subheading note (a) when zinc exceeds other elements.

7403.22.00.00Same rate: 26%

If tin predominant with ≥3% tin

Qualifies as copper-tin base alloys (bronzes) under subheading note (b).

7405.00.10.00Lower: 25% vs 26%

If classified as master alloy for remelting

Master alloys of heading 7405 are excluded from 7403, used specifically for alloy production.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy composition via certified mill test reports showing nickel predominance and zinc ≤1% to confirm copper-nickel base alloy status

Ensure documentation specifies 'unwrought' form; wrought products like bars shift to Chapter 74 headings 7404-7419
