Import Tips
• Document the exact alloy composition, including the germanium content, as the CBSA may require this to confirm that silver predominates by weight
• If the alloy is intended for sterling silver production, ensure it meets Canadian standards for sterling silver (92.5% silver minimum) if it will be sold as such
• Keep the bars in unwrought form; if they are extruded or drawn into wire, they would be classified as semi-manufactured
