Import Tips
• Ensure the gold cladding is affixed by mechanical means (e.g
• hot-rolling or welding) and not by electroplating, as electroplated products fall under other headings
• Declare the strip as 'not further worked than semi-manufactured' and avoid any additional processing that could change its classification
• Keep supplier documentation showing the base metal composition and cladding method for CBSA verification
