HS Code for Brass sheet

Brass sheets are classified under HS code 7409.29. This classification falls under heading 7409, which covers copper plates, sheets, and strip, with a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm. The Harmonized System distinguishes between these products based on their alloy content and their packaging. Subheading 7409.2x is dedicated to copper-zinc base alloys (brass). Within this, 7409.21 is for products in coils, while 7409.29 is for those not in coils (flat sheets). To be classified here, the product must be flat and have a thickness greater than 0.15 mm. If the product is thinner, it is classified as foil. The classification follows GIR 1 and 6, ensuring that the material (brass) and the form (flat sheet, not coiled) are correctly identified. These sheets are widely used in industrial manufacturing, musical instruments, and architectural cladding.

Products Included

• Flat brass sheets for engraving
• Heavy brass plates for industrial machinery
• Polished brass sheets for interior design
• Cold-rolled brass sheets (not in coils)

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification for brass sheet is confusing it with brass foil under HS code 7410.22. The threshold is 0.15 mm; anything equal to or thinner than this is foil. Another common error is confusing 7409.29 with 7409.21. If the brass sheet is rolled into a coil for transport, it must be classified under 7409.21. Additionally, if the sheet is made of refined copper (not an alloy), it would fall under 7409.11 or 7409.19 depending on whether it is coiled.
