Alternative Classifications

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

7407Same rate: 38%

If brass (nickel <5%)

Lower nickel moves to brass provisions; alloy base composition dictates subheading.

7419Lower: 10% vs 38%

If part of finished article

Articles of copper alloys > articles unfinished profiles; depends on completion state.

7408.11.60.00Same rate: 38%

If clad with other metal

Clad wire/profiles have separate provisions from unclad alloys.
