C26000 Brass Round Bar from Germany
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).

Import Tips
• 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
