Import Tips
• Verify base metal composition (e.g
• brass >50% copper) via lab testing to confirm classification under Chapter 83
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'suitable for buildings' use to avoid misclassification as furniture fittings
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Chinese brass hinges; provide country-of-origin certificates
