Copper and articles thereof
Notes.
1. In this Chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:
(a) Refined copper
Metal containing at least 99.85% by weight of copper; or
Metal containing at least 97.5% by weight of copper, provided that the content of any other element does not exceed the limit specified in the following table:
Table - Other elements
| Element | Limiting content by weight (%) | |
| Ag | Silver | 0.25 |
| As | Arsenic | 0.5 |
| Cd | Cadmium | 1.3 |
| Cr | Chromium | 1.4 |
| Mg | Magnesium | 0.8 |
| Pb | Lead | 1.5 |
| S | Sulphur | 0.7 |
| Sn | Tin | 0.8 |
| Te | Tellurium | 0.8 |
| Zn | Zinc | 1 |
| Zr | Zirconium | 0.3 |
| Other elements *, each element | 0.3 | |
| * Other elements, e.g.: Al (aluminium), Be (beryllium), Co (cobalt), Fe (iron), Mn (manganese), Ni (nickel), Si (silicon) |
(b) Copper alloys
Metallic substances other than unrefined copper in which copper predominates by weight over each of the other elements, provided that:
(i) the content of at least one of the other elements is greater than the limit specified in the foregoing table; or
(ii) the total content of such other elements exceeds 2.5%.
(c) Master alloys of copper
Alloys containing with other elements more than 10% by weight of copper, not usefully malleable and commonly used as an additive in the manufacture of other alloys or as de-oxidants, desulphurising agents or for similar uses in the metallurgy of non-ferrous metals. However, phosphor copper containing more than 15% by weight of phosphorus falls in heading 28.53.
Subheading Note.
1. In this Chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:
(a) Copper-zinc base alloys (brasses)
Alloys of copper and zinc, with or without other elements. Where other elements are present:
- zinc predominates by weight over each of the other elements;
- any nickel content by weight is less than 5% (see copper-nickel-zinc alloys (nickel silvers)); and
- any tin content by weight is less than 3% (see copper-tin alloys (bronzes)).
(b) Copper-tin base alloys (bronzes)
Alloys of copper and tin, with or without other elements. Where other elements are present, tin predominates by weight over each of the other elements, except that where the tin content is 3% or more the zinc content may exceed that of tin but must be less than 10% by weight.
(c) Copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silvers)
Alloys of copper, nickel and zinc, with or without other elements. The nickel content is 5% or more by weight (see copper-zinc alloys (brasses)).
(d) Copper-nickel base alloys
Alloys of copper and nickel, with or without other elements but in any case containing not more than 1% by weight of zinc. Where other elements are present, nickel predominates by weight over each of the other elements.
