Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the strips are under 600 mm wide and made of non-alloy steel to qualify for this tariff item
• Ensure the zinc coating is applied electrolytically, as hot-dipped products are classified elsewhere
• Declare the goods as flat-rolled products, not as construction components, to avoid misclassification with the CBSA
