C17500 Beryllium Copper Profile Rod from China

A high-strength profile rod made from C17500 beryllium copper alloy, containing less than 3% beryllium and trace elements, extruded into a specific T-section profile for industrial applications. Classified under HTS 7407.10.30.00 as a refined copper profile that does not qualify as hollow or specifically defined otherwise. Used primarily in aerospace and electrical connectors due to its conductivity and spring properties.

Import Tips

Obtain mill test certificates verifying refined copper composition and alloy designation to avoid reclassification as unwrought copper

Declare exact profile dimensions and cross-sections; hollow profiles may shift to 7407.10.15.00

Ensure EN 12420 or ASTM standards compliance for traceability, common pitfall is missing alloy content labels
