7407.29.16.80 - Other

This classification, HTS 7407.29.16.80, pertains to hollow profiles of copper alloys, excluding those specifically enumerated under sibling categories. These items are manufactured from copper alloys that do not fall into the defined categories of copper-nickel base alloys (cupro-nickel) or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silver). The "Other" designation signifies that the material composition of the alloy is not specifically identified by a preceding code, thus encompassing a broader range of copper alloy compositions.

The defining characteristic of this category is the hollow cross-section of the profile. This distinguishes it from solid bars, rods, and other non-hollow profiles made from similar copper alloys. Unlike its sibling category, 7407.29.16.10, which is dedicated to specific copper-nickel alloys, this code captures hollow profiles made from any other copper alloy composition, such as brass, bronze, or other proprietary blends, provided they are not further subdivided.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under HTS 7407.29.16.80 hinges on the precise composition of the copper alloy and the hollow nature of the extruded or drawn profile. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate material declarations for the copper alloy in question to correctly apply this classification.
