Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying alloy composition (Cu-Zn with Zn < predominant) to confirm classification as brass under subheading note (a)
• Ensure rods meet dimensional specs for 'bars and rods' (solid, hot-rolled or extruded profiles under 25mm thick)
• Avoid misclassification as profiles if cross-section exceeds standard rod limits; common pitfall with decorative trim
