Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If brass (nickel <5%)
Lower nickel moves to brass provisions; alloy base composition dictates subheading.
If part of finished article
Articles of copper alloys > articles unfinished profiles; depends on completion state.
If clad with other metal
Clad wire/profiles have separate provisions from unclad alloys.
