Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If zinc ≥1% by weight
Zn predominant over other elements defines copper-zinc base alloys (brasses).
If aluminum-copper composite
Clad aluminum-copper profiles classify under aluminum Chapter 76.
If made into base metal mountings
Finished mountings/fittings become Chapter 83 articles.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Analysis confirming Zn<1% prevents brass misclassification
• Extrusion direction markings help verify profile vs tube classification
• Anodizing disqualifies; uncoated only for this heading
