If of copper-nickel base alloys

Copper-nickel alloys with nickel predominating and zinc ≤1% fall under 7408.11, not brass.

8311.10.00.00Lower: 37.5% vs 78%

If coated with flux for soldering

Flux-cored or coated welding wire is classified as coated electrodes in Chapter 83.

7407Lower: 14.1% vs 78%

If of copper-zinc but finer than 0.15mm and refined

Very fine brass wire may shift to Chapter 74 refined copper wire headings based on gauge.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify alloy composition certificate showing zinc predominance and nickel <5% to confirm brass classification

• Provide mill test reports for diameter and tensile strength to avoid reclassification as refined wire
