Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the bricks are fired above 800°C and not merely dried or cured, as lower-temperature products are excluded from Chapter 69
• Have documentation ready showing the clay composition and firing process to support classification under 6904.10.00
• Verify whether the bricks meet Canadian building codes for cavity wall use, as CBSA may request technical specifications
