Hollow Leaded Brass Profile for Machining
Hollow hexagonal profile made from leaded brass, a copper-zinc base alloy with added lead for enhanced machinability, used in free-machining bushings. The zinc content predominates over other elements and tin content is below 3%, meeting the definition of brass under subheading note (a). The hollow hexagonal cross-section qualifies as a profile under Chapter 74.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Maintain records showing the alloy composition, especially zinc and tin percentages, to confirm brass classification
• Be aware that lead content may be subject to environmental regulations; ensure compliance with Canadian product safety standards
• If the profile is imported with additional machining, it may no longer qualify as 'unworked' under supplementary note 1
