Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the bloom is not further worked than hot-rolled or forged, as additional processing may change classification
• Maintain documentation of the nickel and cobalt content to substantiate the high-nickel alloy steel classification
• Check if the end-use in medical devices triggers any additional regulatory requirements from Health Canada
