Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copper-nickel busbars
Nickel silver alloys (Ni ≥5% per note c) classify as alloy scrap.
If machined into copper fittings before export
Finished copper fittings are Chapter 74 articles, not waste.
If roasted copper-bearing residues
Chapter 26 covers roasted ores/slags, not metallic scrap.
