Alternative Classifications

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

7410.21Same rate: 38%

If not configured as laminate but simple backed foil

Paper/paperboard-backed copper foil uses different subheading; laminates with plastic backings are distinctly 'copper clad laminates'.

3920.99.50.00Higher: 40.8% vs 38%

If for bare polyimide film without copper

Unclad polymer films classify under Chapter 39 non-cellular plastic sheets, missing copper foil component.

7419Lower: 10% vs 38%

If copper content <5% of total weight

Low copper composite articles may shift to Chapter 74 other articles if not primarily foil-backed laminate.

Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm polyimide as the backing material and copper purity as refined; retain supplier certificates for alloy content

Declare exact thickness measurement method excluding backing to prevent disputes over 0.15mm limit

Avoid common error of classifying as finished flex PCB; specify as raw clad material only
