Alternative Classifications

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

7410.22.00.00Higher: 36.5% vs 36%

If of copper-nickel-zinc alloy (nickel silvers)

Products with ≥5% nickel content shift to copper-nickel-zinc base alloys, changing subheading within Chapter 74.

7409.11Lower: 11% vs 36%

If of refined copper, not alloy

Pure copper foil (no alloying elements like zinc) falls under the refined copper subheading in 7409.

7410.12.00Same rate: 36%

If other copper alloy not brass-specified

Copper alloys not meeting brass criteria (e.g., high tin) classified under residual copper alloy foil.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy composition meets copper-zinc base alloy definition (zinc predominant, nickel <5%, tin <3%) with mill test certificates

Measure thickness excluding any backing; must be ≤0.15mm to qualify—common pitfall is including adhesive layers

Provide detailed technical specs and end-use declaration to avoid misclassification as thicker sheet under 7411
