Import Tips
• Obtain mill test certificates verifying chemical composition meets copper-zinc base alloy definitions (zinc predominant, nickel <5%, tin <3%)
• Ensure proper documentation of alloy grade (e.g
• UNS C26000) to avoid misclassification as refined copper
• Check for anti-dumping duties on specific brass alloys from certain countries
