Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7407Same rate: 38%

If solid rather than hollow

Solid profiles of copper alloys fall under different subheading; hollowness determines 7407.29 classification.

7411.29Lower: 13% vs 38%

If further machined into tubes/pipes

Machined or fabricated beyond simple profile moves to Chapter 74 tubes/pipes heading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificate confirming copper-zinc alloy composition per subheading note (a) with zinc > other elements

Declare exact profile dimensions and hollowness; solid profiles shift to 7407.22

Avoid misclassification as bars/rods by documenting non-round cross-section and functional profile use
