Last updated: August 2026 dataCopper alloy foils in unbacked form — including brass (copper-zinc) and other copper-based alloys — serve precision applications in connectors, lead frames, and decorative metalwork where pure copper's conductivity or softness is less important than alloy-specific spring temper or corrosion resistance. The US schedule subdivides this heading into brass foil (7410120030) and other copper alloy foil not elsewhere specified (7410120060). Germany and the Netherlands lead US imports under this heading, with China and Japan also notable suppliers.

Brass foil (copper-zinc base alloy) is specifically captured under 7410120030, while other copper alloy foils not elsewhere specified fall under 7410120060. Refined copper foil — commercially pure copper — classifies entirely separately under heading 7410.11. The alloy composition documented on the mill certificate is the key evidence for correct line selection.
Copper and copper alloy products can be subject to Section 232 tariffs on certain articles; importers should verify current applicability to their specific alloy and form. Additionally, foil sourced from China may carry Section 301 exposure. Consulting a licensed customs broker before entry is advisable given the multiple potential overlapping measures.
