7409.29.00 - Other

This HTS category, 7409.29.00, encompasses plates, sheets, and strip of copper-zinc base alloys (brass) that are not in coils and are not specifically classified elsewhere within this sub-heading. The key defining characteristics for inclusion here are the material composition (brass) and the form factor, specifically excluding those presented in a coiled state. This designation serves to capture brass flat-rolled products that are typically supplied in cut lengths or specific panel sizes.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7409.21.00, is crucial. While both fall under brass plates, sheets, and strip, 7409.21.00 is exclusively for products presented in coils. Therefore, any brass flat-rolled product that is not coiled, regardless of its other specifications, will find its classification under 7409.29.00. This distinction is based on the physical presentation and handling form of the goods.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on thickness. The subcategories distinguish between brass plates, sheets, and strip with a thickness of 5 mm or more, and those with a thickness of less than 5 mm. This granular approach to thickness ensures that specific trade and manufacturing requirements related to the dimension of the material can be accurately captured and reflected in the tariff data.
