More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of refined copper without alloys
Pure copper fittings (not alloys) fall under the refined copper subheading.
If imported as unfinished tube rather than fittings
Unwrought or semi-finished copper alloy tubes are classified separately from fabricated fittings.
If part of a complex valve assembly for industrial use
Fittings integral to valves or regulators may shift to machinery chapter based on principal function.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition meets brass definition (zinc > other elements, Ni <5%, Sn <3%) with mill test certificates
• Provide detailed technical specs including pressure ratings and dimensions for CBP classification
• Avoid misclassification as copper-nickel by confirming nickel content below 5%
