Products classified under HTS 7408.29.10.00
Tin-Plated Brass Electrical Wire
This is a thin-gauge wire made from copper-zinc brass alloy, coated with a layer of tin to enhance solderability and corrosion resistance. It falls under HTS 7408.29.10.00 as copper alloy wire (brass) that is coated or plated with metal, specifically excluding high-nickel or high-tin compositions per chapter notes. Commonly used in electronics assembly.
Nickel-Plated Brass Magnet Wire
Brass alloy wire (low nickel <5%) with nickel plating for use in high-temperature electromagnetic coils and motors. HTS 7408.29.10.00 applies to this coated 'other' copper alloy wire, as the base meets brass definition despite nickel plating. Provides improved heat and wear resistance.
Copper-Clad Brass Welding Wire
Brass core wire pressure-bonded with pure copper cladding for specialized MIG welding electrodes. Classifies under HTS 7408.29.10.00 as metal-coated copper alloy wire. Provides unique arc characteristics for brass welding applications.
Electrolytic Nickel-Plated Brass Pin Wire
Ultra-fine brass wire with electrolytic nickel plating for manufacturing straight pins and needles. HTS 7408.29.10.00 for this coated copper-zinc alloy wire. Nickel layer ensures smooth finish and rust prevention.
Silver-Plated Copper-Zinc Wire for Jewelry
Fine copper-zinc brass wire electroplated with silver for decorative chainmaille jewelry making. Classified under HTS 7408.29.10.00 as 'other' copper alloy wire coated with metal, meeting brass alloy criteria in chapter notes. The plating provides tarnish resistance and aesthetic appeal.
Gold-Flashed Brass Winding Wire
Precision brass wire with thin gold flash plating for high-reliability electronic windings and connectors. Falls under HTS 7408.29.10.00 as metal-coated copper alloy wire (brass base). The gold layer ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion protection.
Zinc-Coated Brass Annealed Wire
Soft-annealed copper-zinc brass wire hot-dip galvanized with zinc for flexible stranding in cables. HTS 7408.29.10.00 covers this metal-plated 'other' copper alloy wire meeting brass composition rules. Used where ductility and corrosion protection are needed.
Tin-Plated Phosphor Bronze Wire
Wait—phosphor bronze is copper-tin alloy per note (b). For 7408.29 (other alloys), use brass. Correcting to tin-plated admiralty brass wire (Cu-Zn-Sn <3%). Admiralty brass wire tin-plated for condenser tubes and heat exchangers. HTS 7408.29.10.00 as coated copper alloy wire (brass with minor tin).
