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

7409.21.00Lower: 36.9% vs 38%

If zinc content exceeds 1% but under 5% nickel

Becomes copper-zinc base alloy (brass) per subheading note (a), changing to 7409.21.

7407Lower: 11.6% vs 38%

If thickness ≤0.15 mm

Qualifies as copper foil under Chapter 74 heading 7407 for thinner profiles.

7409Same rate: 38%

If other alloy not meeting cupro-nickel or nickel silver definitions

Falls to other copper alloy plates/sheets if composition doesn't match notes (c) or (d).

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy composition via certified mill test report (CMTR) showing nickel predominance and zinc <1% to confirm cupro-nickel classification

Ensure thickness documentation exceeds 0.15 mm; thinner material shifts to Chapter 74 foil headings
