7419.80.50 - Other

This classification covers articles of copper, not specifically enumerated or included in other headings within Chapter 74, that do not fall under the sibling category of articles coated or plated with precious metal. These are typically finished or semi-finished articles made primarily of copper, or alloys where copper is the principal constituent, and are not specifically provided for elsewhere in the tariff schedule. Examples might include copper hardware, decorative items, or components not otherwise detailed.

The distinction from the sibling category, 7419.80.30.00, is critical. While both are "other articles of copper," this sub-heading specifically excludes items that have been treated to have a surface layer of precious metal. Therefore, articles classified here are composed solely of copper or copper alloys, without any such metallic plating or coating.

Within this category, two subcategories exist to provide further specificity. The first, 7419.80.50.10, designates brass plumbing goods that are not otherwise classified. The second, 7419.80.50.50, serves as a residual category for all other copper articles that meet the general criteria of this heading but do not fit the specific definition of brass plumbing goods.
