Import Tips
• Ensure the skimmings are not classified as copper residues, as the main metal content determines the subheading
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing zinc as the predominant metal to support classification under 2620.19.00
• Be aware that lead content may subject the material to additional environmental controls under Canadian law
