Import Tips
• Ensure the product's chemical composition (niobium, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon) is documented in the commercial invoice to support classification under 7202.93.00
• Verify that the lumps meet the physical form criteria for ferro-alloys (pigs, blocks, lumps, or similar primary forms) to avoid reclassification
• Consult the CBSA's tariff classification advice service for binding rulings on borderline compositions
