This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness exceeds 0.15 mm but is rectangular and of a uniform thickness
Copper alloy foil (≤0.15 mm thick) falls under 7407, while thicker uniform rectangular bars/rods go to 7407.22
If width 500 mm or more
Same thin copper alloy sheets but wider dimensions (>500 mm) are classified separately in 7409.90.10
If further worked into washers or gaskets
Plates/sheets become 'articles of copper' under 7415 when cut, punched, or shaped for specific end uses

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificate verifying C26000 composition (Cu 68.5-71.5%, Zn remainder) to confirm brass alloy status per subheading note (a)
• Measure and declare exact thickness (<5mm) and width (<500mm); mismeasurement leads to reclassification under 7409.90.10 or Chapter 74 headings
• Ensure ASTM B36 standard compliance; common pitfall is importing pre-cut parts which shift to 7408 or 7415
