Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloy doesn't meet brass or bronze definitions
Other copper alloys not fitting specific subheading notes (a)-(d) fall under the residual 'other' alloy wire.
If finer than 0.15mm and used for textiles
Very fine copper alloy wire for textile machinery is in 7409, separate from general wire in 7408.
If insulated for electrical conduction
Insulated copper alloy wire becomes electrical conductor under Chapter 85, not bare metal in Chapter 74.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Submit chemical analysis proving tin predominance (per note b) to distinguish from brass; retain supplier alloy specs
ā¢ Verify no metal plating via inspection certs; plating shifts to 7408.21 and higher duties
ā¢ For electrical use, ensure compliance with UL/NEMA standards but classify based on material, not end-use
