HS Code for Bronze sheet

Bronze sheets are classified under HS code 7409.39. This code applies to plates, sheets, and strip of copper-tin base alloys (bronze) with a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm, provided they are not in coils. Heading 7409 is the primary category for flat-rolled copper products. The subheading 7409.39 is used for bronze products that are presented in flat, cut-to-length pieces rather than wound coils. The classification requires the product to have a uniform rectangular cross-section. If the product were in a coiled form, it would be classified under 7409.31. If the thickness were 0.15 mm or less, it would be considered foil under 7410. Bronze sheets are valued for their aesthetic appeal in architecture and their durability in industrial applications. The classification process involves measuring the thickness and verifying that the material is a copper-tin alloy. Flatness and the absence of a coiled presentation are the definitive physical characteristics for 7409.39.

Common Misclassification

Bronze sheets are often confused with 7409.31 (bronze coils) if the packaging is not clearly defined. They are also misclassified under 7407.29 (bronze bars) if the width-to-thickness ratio is not sufficient to qualify as a sheet. Furthermore, if the sheet is perforated or polished beyond a simple rolled finish, it may occasionally be misclassified as a finished article, though it usually remains in 7409.

FAQ

What is the HS code for bronze sheet?

The HS code for bronze sheet (not in coils, thickness > 0.15mm) is 7409.39.

How is a bronze sheet distinguished from a bronze plate?

In the HS system, both sheets and plates are classified under the same heading (7409) based on thickness and alloy; the term plate usually refers to thicker material, but the code remains 7409.39 if not coiled.
