Import Tips
• Ensure the product's chemical composition is documented with a mill certificate, as CBSA may verify niobium, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon content
• Classify as ferro-niobium under 7202.93.00; if the lumps are mixed with other ferroalloys, consider separate classification
• Verify whether the product qualifies for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement by providing a valid certificate of origin
