Import Tips
• Confirm the wire's profile does not qualify as concrete reinforcing bar (rebar), which would change classification
• Provide technical drawings or specifications to CBSA showing the cross-section and carbon content
• If the wire is coated (e.g
• zinc or aluminum), check if the coating affects the tariff classification
