Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing mainly copper
Brass residues with predominant copper shift to copper subheading in 2620.99.
If refined copper-zinc waste/scrap
Unprocessed brass scrap goes to Chapter 74 copper wastes.
If chemical reaction byproducts
If from alloy chemical processing, may classify as prepared chemical residues.
