C26000 Cartridge Brass Sheet from China

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.

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
