Import Tips
• Document the source of the skimmings to confirm they are from secondary copper recycling and not from iron or steel production
• Provide assay results demonstrating copper as the predominant metal by weight
• Check if the skimmings qualify as hazardous waste under Canadian environmental regulations, which may require permits
