Brass Sheet & Strip — Brazil — C-351-604

“Brass Sheet & Strip” refers to a product category involving flat-rolled brass metal, generally sold as sheet or strip. The exact scope is controlled by the official product description, including the alloy, dimensions, form, and possible exclusions—not just the product name. A customs classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) can help identify a product, but it does not by itself decide whether the product is within the measure’s scope.

“AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duties. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports considered to be sold at unfairly low prices, while countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits a foreign government is found to have provided to producers or exporters. These measures typically affect imports from specified countries and may apply to manufacturers, exporters, importers of record, or other parties depending on the official scope and entry requirements. An affected importer may owe additional duties beyond ordinary customs duty and must use the required filing, deposit, and documentation procedures.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare the product’s alloy, thickness, width, form, finish, and exclusions—not only its commercial name.
• Confirm the country of origin, manufacturer, and exporter; AD/CVD coverage is commonly country- and producer-specific.
• Check the HTSUS classification, but treat it as an identification aid rather than a substitute for the written scope.
• Review current instructions from the relevant U.S. agencies and Customs and Border Protection for cash-deposit, entry, bonding, and reporting requirements.
• Ask a customs broker or trade counsel to review ambiguous products, scope questions, or prior entries before importing.
