Antique Brass Stamping Foil from Germany
Antique brass stamping foil consists of bronze pigments bound in a binder, applied to a supporting sheet, and used for hot stamping decorative designs onto surfaces like cigar boxes. It meets the definition of stamping foils under heading 32.12, which includes thin sheets of metallic powder or pigment agglomerated with a binder. The aged brass effect is achieved through the pigment composition, making it suitable for vintage packaging applications.

Import Tips
• Ensure the foil is clearly described as a stamping foil with metallic pigments on a supporting sheet to avoid misclassification as a general pigment preparation
• Provide a sample or technical data sheet to the CBSA if requested to confirm the binder and pigment composition
• Verify the country of origin to determine if any preferential tariff treatments apply under Canada's trade agreements
