Cupro-Nickel Hollow Profile Rod for Marine Propulsion Shafts from Mexico
Hollow profile rod made from copper-nickel base alloy (90/10 cupro-nickel), designed for use in marine propeller shafts due to its excellent corrosion resistance in seawater. Classified under HTS 7407.29.16.10 as a hollow profile of copper-nickel base alloy. The uniform cross-section and extruded form distinguish it from bars or rods.

Import Tips
• Verify alloy composition meets copper-nickel base alloy definition (nickel predominates, zinc ≤1%) with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed engineering drawings showing hollow profile cross-section for Customs to confirm it's not a tube or pipe under 7411
