Import Tips

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
