C23000 Red Brass Architectural Panel
C23000 red brass architectural panels are flat-rolled copper-zinc alloy sheets, 1.2 mm thick and 750 mm wide, with an 85/15 copper-to-zinc ratio that gives them their characteristic reddish hue. They are used for building facades, weatherstripping, and decorative cladding. Because they are copper-zinc base alloys (brass) in sheet form exceeding 0.15 mm thickness, they fall under tariff item 7409.29.00.

• If the panels arrive cut to specific architectural shapes, they may be classified as articles of heading 7419 rather than as sheets
