Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If zinc โฅ1% 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.
