U.S. imports of brass plates, sheets & strip over 0.15 mm thick, not in coils (HS 740929) totaled $26.8M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Importers of Brass Plates, Sheets & Strip Over 0.15 mm Thick, Not in Coils paid $1.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $2.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCut-to-length brass (copper-zinc alloy) plates, sheets, and strip serve precision machining, engraving stock, and architectural panel applications where flat, non-coiled presentation is required. Like its coiled counterpart, the US schedule subdivides this heading by thickness and width, with 7409290010 for material 5 mm or more thick, 7409290050 for sub-5 mm product at least 500 mm wide, and two additional lines for narrower material differentiated at the 1.6 mm thickness boundary. Peru and Bulgaria are the leading import sources, with Germany also a significant supplier. Importers should verify alloy composition to confirm the copper-zinc base and distinguish from bronze or other copper alloys.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
For HTS purposes, brass is a copper-zinc base alloy — meaning zinc is the principal alloying element by weight after copper. If the alloy contains significant tin (bronze), nickel (cupro-nickel or nickel-silver), or other principal alloying elements, it would fall under a different heading. Mill certificates should specify the alloy designation (e.g., C260, C360) to support the classification.
The two headings share the same general rate of duty structure, but they are distinct tariff lines and must be declared correctly based on actual presentation at importation. Misclassifying coiled material as non-coiled (or vice versa) can trigger a customs examination or penalty, even if the duty rate is identical, because the presentation form is a classification criterion, not merely a packaging detail.
