Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7408.19.00Same rate: 38%

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.

7409Lower: 13% vs 38%

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.

8544.49.20.00Higher: 38.5% vs 38%

If insulated for electrical conduction

Insulated copper alloy wire becomes electrical conductor under Chapter 85, not bare metal in Chapter 74.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit chemical analysis proving tin predominance (per note b) to distinguish from brass; retain supplier alloy specs

• Verify no metal plating via inspection certs; plating shifts to 7408.21 and higher duties

• For electrical use, ensure compliance with UL/NEMA standards but classify based on material, not end-use
