Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate verifying copper-zinc composition meets brass definition (zinc predominant, Ni<5%, Sn<3%)
• Confirm thickness >0.15mm and coil form via packing list; uncoiled sheets classify under 7409.21.50
• Avoid misclassification as copper-nickel-zinc if Ni≥5%; test reports prevent duty disputes
