Last updated: April 2026 dataUnthreaded copper washers and analogous articles serve critical sealing and load-distribution functions in hydraulic fittings, plumbing joints, and precision instrumentation — applications where copper's malleability and corrosion resistance outperform steel alternatives. Heading 69432 is narrowly defined: it covers only non-threaded articles, and spring washers are explicitly included, making this a relatively compact but technically specific classification. The distinction from threaded copper fasteners (heading 69433) rests entirely on whether a helical thread is present.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Heading 69432 explicitly includes spring washers of copper alongside plain washers and similar non-threaded articles. The spring function does not move the article to a different classification as long as the washer remains non-threaded.
CBP may request product specifications, technical drawings, or manufacturer datasheets confirming the absence of a helical thread. For high-volume shipments or borderline articles, importers sometimes seek a binding ruling to lock in the classification and avoid reclassification risk at the port of entry.
