C26000 Brass Round Bar
A solid round bar made from C26000 cartridge brass, a copper-zinc alloy with approximately 30% zinc content, used in architectural trim and hardware components. It falls under HTS 7407.21.90.00 as a brass bar or rod, not specifically hollow or profiled for specific uses. The zinc predominance confirms its classification as a copper-zinc base alloy (brass).

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tin content is 3% or more with tin predominating
Shifts to copper-tin base alloys (bronzes) per subheading note (b), changing the alloy base classification.
If refined copper with less than 0.3% alloying elements
Pure refined copper bars fall under Chapter 74 heading 7403, excluding alloys.
If machined into finished articles like handles
Processed into other articles of copper alloys, moving from semi-finished bars to finished goods.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition via certified mill test reports to confirm zinc predominance and compliance with subheading note (a) for brasses
• Ensure dimensions meet 'bars and rods' criteria (not hollow or too thin for wire); common pitfall is misclassifying as profiles
• Provide documentation on end-use if industrial to avoid reclassification as finished goods
