About heading 7402

Unrefined copper; copper anodes for electrolytic refining

Heading 7402 covers unrefined copper and copper anodes for electrolytic refining. Unrefined copper is copper that has not been refined to the purity level of refined copper, and the anodes here are cast shapes used as the feed for electrolytic refining. The heading has one declarable line, 7402.00.00.00, so every good in the heading takes the same classification and the general (MFN) rate is Free.
