Import Tips

• 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
