Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If nickel content <5%
Low-nickel Cu-Zn alloys are simple brasses under note (a), separate from nickel silvers.
If shaped into stranded wire or cable
Stranded or cabled copper alloy wire moves to 7413 as worked forms beyond simple drawn wire.
If used in imitation jewelry manufacture
Base metal wire for jewelry is classified there if predominantly for that end-use.

Our AI classifier can analyze your specific product and recommend the correct HTS code with confidence.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Document Ni content ≥5% and Zn <10% per note (c); misstated composition risks brass classification
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion with rod forms; measure cross-section to confirm wire status (>6mm width excluded)
