Import Tips
• > Verify the width is less than 600 mm and that the zinc coating is electrolytic, not hot-dip, to ensure correct classification
• Keep records of the coating thickness and steel grade for CBSA verification
• If shims are cut to specific shapes with holes, they may be classified as articles under Chapter 73
