Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If copper-nickel alloy instead of bronze
Copper-nickel base alloys have separate provisions excluding >1% zinc content.
If shaped into fittings/connectors
Profiles further worked into pipe fittings classified in 7412, not raw profiles.
If unwrought refined copper
Unwrought forms precede worked profiles; must be extruded profile for 7407.
