Brass Plumbing Scrap
Waste brass material recovered from discarded plumbing fixtures like valves, fittings, and pipes, containing less than 94% copper by weight as a copper-zinc alloy. Classified under HTS 7404.00.30.90 because it is scrap of copper alloys (brass per subheading note (a)) with copper content below 94%. This low-grade scrap is typically melted down for recycling into new brass products.
