Cupro-Nickel Seamless Pipe 90/10

A seamless pipe made from 90% copper and 10% nickel (cupro-nickel alloy), used primarily in marine and desalination applications for its excellent corrosion resistance in seawater. This falls under HTS 7411.22.00.00 as it is a copper-nickel base alloy tube per subheading note (d), with nickel predominating over other elements and zinc under 1%.

Alternative Classifications

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

7411.29Lower: 13% vs 38%

If zinc content exceeds 1% by weight

Excess zinc disqualifies it from copper-nickel base alloys, shifting to other copper alloys like brasses.

7411.10.10Lower: 36.5% vs 38%

If made of refined copper without significant nickel

Pure or low-alloy copper tubes fall under non-alloy copper headings, not alloy-specific subheadings.

7304.41.30Lower: 17.5% vs 38%

If produced as steel pipe with cupro-nickel cladding

Clad or lined steel pipes are classified by steel base material in Chapter 73, not pure copper tubes.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy composition certificate showing Cu-Ni ratio and zinc <1% to confirm classification under copper-nickel base alloys

Provide mill test reports for seamless construction; welded versions may shift to other subheadings
