Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify alloy composition meets brass definition (zinc > other elements, Ni <5%, Sn <3%) with mill test certificates

• Provide detailed technical specs including pressure ratings and dimensions for CBP classification

• Avoid misclassification as copper-nickel by confirming nickel content below 5%
