Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7409.21.00Same rate: 36.9%

If width 500mm or more

Brass sheets of same thickness but wider than 500mm classify under the broader width subheading in the same brass category.

7407Lower: 11.6% vs 36.9%

If thickness ≀0.15mm

Thinner brass material becomes foil rather than plate/sheet, moving to Chapter 74 foil headings.

7412.10.00Higher: 38% vs 36.9%

If further worked into shapes like circles or rectangles

Once cut, punched, or shaped beyond simple flat sheet, it becomes brass tube/pipe fittings or worked articles.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify alloy composition meets copper-zinc base alloy definition (zinc predominant, nickel <5%, tin <3%) with mill test certificates

β€’ Ensure thickness >0.15mm but <5mm and width <500mm; measure precisely to avoid reclassification to wider strip categories

β€’ Provide documentation on flat-rolled status vs. worked shapes to prevent shifts to Chapter 74 headings for profiles or foil
