740939
Copper; plates and sheets, of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm, of copper-tin base alloys, not in coils
Heading 7409 — Copper plates, sheets and strip; of a thickness exceeding 0.15mm
Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 740939 when importing or exporting copper-tin base alloy plates and sheets thicker than 0.15mm. For instance, if you're shipping a batch of copper-tin alloy sheets for manufacturing electrical components, this code applies.
This code specifically covers flat copper-tin alloy products that are not rolled into coils, distinguishing them from HS-6 740932, which includes copper plates and sheets of other alloys. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurate classification.
When dealing with copper plates and sheets thicker than 0.15mm, you’ll find that HS-6 740939 is used for those made from copper-tin alloys, while HS-6 740941 pertains to those made from other copper alloys. This can affect duty rates and import regulations.
Ensure your product meets the thickness requirement, as items under 0.15mm would fall under different classifications. This code is essential for compliance with customs regulations when dealing with specific alloy compositions.
