Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the sheet is of refined copper, not a copper-zinc alloy
Refined copper sheets are classified separately from brass sheets under the copper plates and sheets heading.
If the alloy is not a copper-zinc base alloy but another copper alloy
Other copper alloy sheets, such as copper-nickel, fall under this residual subheading.
If the product is in wire form rather than sheet form
Brass wire is classified under the copper wire heading, not the plates and sheets heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• CBSA may require proof that the zinc content is 30% and that no other element exceeds the limits for brass under subheading note 1
• Keep alloy certificates from the mill
• If the sheet is imported for ammunition manufacturing, verify whether other regulations under the Explosives Act apply, but tariff classification remains under 7409.29.00
