Cupro-Nickel 90/10 Round Rod

A solid round rod made from 90% copper and 10% nickel alloy (cupro-nickel), used in marine and desalination applications for its excellent corrosion resistance. This falls under HTS 7407.29.40.00 as it is a bar/rod of copper-nickel base alloy where nickel predominates over other elements except copper. Meets subheading note (d) for copper-nickel base alloys with less than 1% zinc.

Alternative Classifications

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

7407Same rate: 38%

If zinc content exceeds 1% by weight

Shifts to copper-zinc base alloys (brasses) per subheading note (a), as zinc no longer minimal.

7411.22.00.00Same rate: 38%

If further processed into tubes or pipes

Copper-nickel tubes fall under tube/pipes heading 7411, not bars/rods.

7407.10.15.00Same rate: 38%

If refined copper without significant nickel

Pure/of refined copper bars/rods exclude alloys; nickel content determines alloy status.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide mill test certificates verifying copper-nickel composition (e.g

β€’ 90/10 ratio, <1% zinc) to confirm subheading note (d) classification

β€’ Declare exact dimensions and alloy grade; misclassification as brass (higher zinc) leads to 7407.22 duties

β€’ For marine end-use, note anti-corrosion certs but classify by material, not function
