C86300 High-Lead Manganese Bronze Plate from China
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.
