Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming brass alloy composition (zinc > other elements, Ni <5%, Sn <3%) to verify classification
• Ensure wire diameter and uncoated status are documented; common pitfall is misclassifying as plated under 7408.21
• Declare exact alloy type on entry docs to avoid reclassification to base copper wire (7408.11)
