Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the ingots are not usable as billets (e.g
• have obvious surface faults) to qualify as remelting scrap ingots
• Keep records of the source and processing to demonstrate they are not semi-finished products
• Check if the ingots meet Canadian standards for scrap quality
