Brass MIG Welding Wire 0.030 Inch from Germany
This 0.030-inch diameter MIG welding wire is made from copper-zinc brass alloy (70/30), used for welding galvanized steel and dissimilar metals. It falls under HTS 7408.29.5000 as copper alloy wire not coated or plated with metal, specifically brass per subheading note (a) where zinc predominates over other elements.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming brass alloy composition (zinc > other elements, Ni <5%, Sn <3%) to verify classification
• Ensure wire diameter and uncoated status are documented; common pitfall is misclassifying as plated under 7408.21
• Declare exact alloy type on entry docs to avoid reclassification to base copper wire (7408.11)
