Platinum-Clad Steel Box Clasp for Brooches from China

A box clasp made from a steel base metal clad with platinum, designed to secure brooch pins with a tongue-in-groove mechanism. The platinum cladding provides a premium finish and corrosion resistance, classifying it as a finding of base metal clad with precious metal.

Duty Rate — China → Canada

Import Tips

• Verify that the platinum cladding meets the 2% weight threshold for precious metal alloys if any alloying is involved

• Classify as a finding, not a finished brooch, to avoid higher duty rates

• Prepare a detailed product description for CBSA, including the base metal and cladding method
