Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If irregular brass powder particles
Non-lamellar brass powders remain under general copper alloy powder classification.
If brass bars/pipes then flaked
Copper-zinc alloy in wrought forms before powdering classified under semi-finished products.
If articles of copper-zinc base alloys
Finished brass products shift from Chapter 74 powders to Chapter 71 base metal articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide spectrochemical analysis confirming zinc predominance per Chapter 74 brass definition (nickel <5%)
• Distinguish from 'gold bronze' pigments which may fall under different pigment headings
• Declare flake orientation properties critical for metallic effect in coatings
