C98400 Leaded Naval Brass Extruded Profile
This extruded profile made from C98400 copper-zinc alloy (leaded naval brass) is used in marine hardware and valve components. It falls under HTS 7407.29.38.00 as a copper alloy profile, not of refined copper, other than hollow or certain specialized types. The alloy composition features zinc predominant over other elements with less than 5% nickel and less than 3% tin, qualifying as brass per chapter notes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of copper-nickel-zinc alloy with 5%+ nickel
Alloys with 5% or more nickel content are classified as copper-nickel-zinc base alloys (nickel silvers) under subheading note (c), changing the subheading.
If supplied as powder or flake form rather than extruded solid profile
Powders and flakes of copper alloys are covered in heading 7406, separate from extruded bars, rods, and profiles.
If further machined into finished articles like fittings or fasteners
Machined finished articles of copper alloys move to Chapter 74 heading 7419, rather than remaining as semi-finished profiles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition certificate confirming zinc predominance and limits on nickel (<5%) and tin (<3%) to meet brass definition in subheading note (a)
• Provide mill test reports detailing exact chemical analysis to avoid reclassification during customs examination
