Unwrought Cu-Ni forms (not drawn into wire) stay in 7404 before working.

7304.39.00Lower: 35% vs 38%

If formed into tubing

Drawn Cu-Ni tubing for heat exchangers is pipes under Chapter 73.

7408.29.10.00Same rate: 38%

If coated with non-metal like varnish

Non-metallic coatings (e.g., enamel) keep it in uncoated subheading but watch for metal plate shift.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify Zn ≤1% and Ni predominance to qualify under note (d); excess Zn shifts to nickel silver

Specify drawn wire form; tubes/pipes in 7411 have different rates

For marine end-use, note ASTM B127 specs but classify by HTS material rules
