Import Tips

• Obtain certified copper content assay from accredited lab showing <94% Cu to qualify under this subheading; misclassification risks penalties

• Provide documentation proving origin as scrap (not prime metal) and alloy composition matching brass definition in chapter notes

• Verify no hazardous contaminants (lead, etc.) exceed EPA limits; common pitfall is incomplete cleaning leading to rejection
