Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code indicate that products starting with 74 are generally classified under metal products.

Specifically, Chapter 74 includes the following main categories:

• Products of copper and its alloys: Including copper wire, copper tubes, copper plates, copper foil, etc.
• Steel products: Including steel wire, steel tubes, steel plates, steel structural parts, etc.
• Other metal products: Including aluminum products, zinc products, nickel products, titanium products, etc.
• Fasteners such as screws, nuts, and washers
• Springs
• Chains
• Metal furniture
• Other metal products

Why is it Chapter 74?

The classification of Chapter 74 is based on the material being metal or its alloy, and the products are processed to a certain extent. In simple terms, if your product is mainly composed of metal and is not raw ore or unprocessed metal, it is likely to fall under Chapter 74.

For a more accurate determination, the full HS code, as well as the product's specific use, composition, and processing method, need to be examined.

First four digits explanation: HS code: 7409

Classification description: Copper plates, sheets, and strips with a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm.

Detailed information:

• Thickness: Exceeding 0.15 mm
• Material: Copper

Six-digit explanation: HS code: 7409.31

Classification: Copper plates, sheets, and strips with a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm:

• Further subdivision: Copper-tin base alloys (bronze):
  • Further subdivision: In coil form:
    • Final subdivision: Thickness less than 5 mm:
      • Most detailed subdivision: Width less than 500 mm

8-10 digits explanation: HS code: 7409319000 Classification: Copper plates, sheets, and strips with a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm: → Copper-tin base alloys (bronze): → In coil form: → Thickness less than 5 mm: → Width less than 500 mm Explanation: This HS code corresponds to copper plates, sheets, and strips made of copper-tin base alloys (bronze), in coil form, with a thickness less than 5 mm and a width less than 500 mm.

Examples of products: * Copper alloy coil used for electrical components * Bronze strip for decorative purposes * Copper sheet used in construction * Copper plate for industrial machinery parts * Bronze coil used in manufacturing tools
