Last updated: April 2026 dataLamellar copper powder—flat, plate-like flakes produced by mechanical milling—serves a distinct set of end markets from spherical powder, principally decorative coatings, conductive inks, EMI shielding compounds, and pigment applications where high surface area and metallic luster matter more than flowability. The single 10-digit line 7406200000 covers all lamellar copper powder and flakes, making the structural distinction from non-lamellar powder (7406100000) the critical classification decision at entry. Germany leads US imports under this heading, with China also a notable supplier, reflecting both European specialty-chemical manufacturing and Asian pigment production capacity.

Suppliers typically provide a technical data sheet or certificate of analysis specifying particle morphology (flake or nodular/spherical), production method, and particle size distribution. Customs brokers may request this documentation to support classification under 7406200000 versus 7406100000, particularly when the product description on the commercial invoice is ambiguous.
Imports of copper powder from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific product and applicable exclusions in effect at the time of entry. Importers should verify current Section 301 applicability and any active exclusions with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as the scope and exclusion status of these measures can change.
