Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure briquettes meet the definition of remelting scrap ingots (roughly cast, obvious surface faults) and are not classified as waste or scrap
• Provide a mill certificate or analysis showing copper content to support classification
• Verify if provincial environmental regulations apply to the import of recycled steel products
