Alternative Classifications

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

7410.22.00Same rate: 36.5%

If thickness exceeds 0.15 mm (excluding backing)

Thicker copper foil, regardless of backing, moves to the next thickness category in the same heading.

3920.99Lower: 15.8% vs 36.5%

If the plastic backing dominates and copper is secondary

Primarily plastic sheets/plates with metal coating shift to Chapter 39 if copper doesn't predominate.

7419Lower: 10% vs 36.5%

If further processed into articles like strips or profiles

Finished copper products beyond basic foil forms are classified in 7419 as other articles of copper.
