C26000 Cartridge Brass Sheet

C26000 cartridge brass sheet is a copper-zinc alloy plate with 30% zinc content, thickness 0.25 mm, and width 400 mm, used for precision stamping in ammunition casings and hardware. It falls under HTS 7409.90.90.60 as a copper alloy plate/sheet/strip exceeding 0.15 mm thick but less than 5 mm, with width under 500 mm. The brass composition meets the subheading note definition for copper-zinc base alloys where zinc predominates over other elements.

Alternative Classifications

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

7409.21.00Lower: 36.9% vs 38%

If width 500 mm or more

Wider sheets of copper-zinc alloys fall under 7409.21 for plates/sheets/strips ≥500 mm wide, changing the subheading based on dimension.

7409.40.00Same rate: 38%

If thickness 5 mm or more

Thicker plates ≥5 mm are classified in 7409.40 regardless of width, as thickness threshold determines the structural subheading.

7407Lower: 11.6% vs 38%

If in coils or rolls

Coiled strip form is classified under Chapter 74 heading 7407 for copper alloy bars/rods/profiles in coils, not flat plates/sheets.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificates confirming alloy composition (e.g

70% Cu, 30% Zn) to verify copper-zinc base alloy status per chapter subheading notes

Measure and document exact thickness (>0.15mm, <5mm) and width (<500mm) on commercial invoice to avoid reclassification to wider or thicker subheadings
