Alternative Classifications

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

7409.39Same rate: 38%

If other bronze alloy, not phosphor

Non-phosphor copper-tin bronzes use a separate subheading within the thick bronze category.

7408.11.60Same rate: 38%

If phosphor bronze but <0.15mm thick

Very thin phosphor bronze foil shifts to the Chapter 74 thin strip/foil heading.

7409Same rate: 38%

If copper-nickel-zinc (nickel silver)

Alloys with ≥5% nickel become nickel silvers, changing the base alloy classification.
