C17200 Beryllium Copper Master Alloy Ingots from China
Master alloy ingots composed primarily of copper with 4% beryllium and minor deoxidants, used for melting into beryllium copper alloys in foundries. Classified under HTS 7405.00.60.30 as a beryllium copper master alloy, distinct from finished wrought products or simple copper alloys. These ingots facilitate precise alloy composition control during manufacturing.

Import Tips
• Verify beryllium content certification (typically 1.8-2%) to confirm master alloy status and avoid reclassification as scrap
• Include mill test reports showing composition meeting ASTM B194 standards for customs valuation and duty assessment
• Beware of anti-dumping duties; declare country of melt/origin accurately to prevent penalties
