C86300 High-Lead Manganese Bronze Plate
This thick brass plate made from C86300 alloy, a copper-zinc base with manganese and lead additions, measures over 5 mm thick and is used for heavy-duty bearings and bushings. It falls under HTS 7409.29.00.10 because it is a copper-zinc base alloy (brass) plate exceeding 0.15 mm thickness, specifically in the 5 mm or more subcategory. The zinc predominates over other elements per subheading note (a), with low tin and nickel content.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from refined copper without zinc alloying
Pure copper or non-zinc alloyed copper plates fall under the refined copper subheading, changing from brass classification.
If thickness is less than 5 mm but over 0.15 mm
Thinner brass sheets and strips are classified under 7407.22, based on thickness specification rather than alloy type.
If tin content meets bronze alloy definition
Alloys qualifying as copper-tin base bronzes per subheading note (b) shift to the bronze plates subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain mill test certificates verifying copper-zinc base alloy composition to meet subheading note (a); ensure thickness documentation for 5mm+ classification; watch for misclassification as bronze if tin exceeds limits
