Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming copper-zinc alloy composition per subheading note (a) with zinc > other elements
• Declare exact profile dimensions and hollowness; solid profiles shift to 7407.22
• Avoid misclassification as bars/rods by documenting non-round cross-section and functional profile use
