Alternative Classifications

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

7411.21Lower: 13% vs 38%

If zinc predominates over nickel (<5% Ni)

Becomes copper-zinc base alloy (brass) per note (a), not nickel-silver.

7419Lower: 10% vs 38%

If imported as unfinished tube sections for further fabrication

Articles of copper alloys not elsewhere specified cover unfinished or waste forms.

8419.89.95Higher: 39.2% vs 38%

If assembled into complete heat exchanger units

Finished machinery parts like condenser assemblies shift to Chapter 84 machinery headings.
