American Copper Heat Exchanger Tubes Finned from Mexico
Copper tubes extruded in US facilities, exported for high-fin rotary finning operations creating extended surface area, returned for heat exchanger core assembly. The finning dramatically increases heat transfer surface. HTS 9802.00.60.00 covers US copper further processed.
