Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If uncoated version of same brass alloy
Coating presence specifically directs to plated subheading 7408.29 from base 7408.21.
If iron/zinc coated but steel base
Similar galvanized products but steel base classify under iron/steel wire Chapter 72.
If supplied as rod stock >6mm thick
Dimensions determine wire (fine) vs rod (coarse) in copper chapter headings.
