Import Tips
• Include chemical analysis confirming brass alloy per subheading note (a); non-conforming alloys shift to other copper alloy headings
• Document as 'other' non-specific sheets to avoid classification as circles/discs under 7409.29.10 if punched
• Check for surface treatments; clad or coated sheets may require different headings in 7414 or 7607 equivalents
