Stainless Steel Compression Springs with Copper Coating from Germany
These are helical compression springs primarily made from copper-plated stainless steel wire, functioning as copper springs under HTS 7419.80.1600 due to their copper composition and spring form. They are used in automotive suspensions and industrial machinery for shock absorption.

Import Tips
• Verify copper content exceeds 50% by weight through lab testing to confirm classification under Chapter 74
• Provide material composition certificates to avoid reclassification as steel springs under Chapter 73
• Ensure springs are not assembled into finished goods, as that may shift to other headings
