7418.10.00.02 - Of copper-zinc base alloys (brass)

This HTS category, 7418.10.00.02, specifically classifies pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves, and similar articles when they are manufactured from copper-zinc base alloys, commonly known as brass. These items are designed for cleaning, scrubbing, or polishing surfaces, leveraging the abrasive properties of copper alloys. Examples include brass wool scouring pads, brass cleaning gloves, and any similar flexible abrasive items made primarily of brass.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7418.10.00.04 ("Other"), is crucial. While the sibling category captures all other pot scourers, scouring pads, gloves, and similar articles of copper not specifically made of copper-zinc base alloys, this particular category is restricted to those explicitly composed of brass. Therefore, the material composition is the sole differentiating factor at this level. If an item is made from pure copper or other copper alloys (not brass), it would fall under the "Other" sibling category.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification concludes with the specification of brass as the material. Any article falling under this heading must be identifiable as a pot scourer, scouring or polishing pad, glove, or similar article, and its primary constituent material must be a copper-zinc base alloy (brass).
