Import Tips
• Ensure the fitting is truly unprocessed after forming (no machining) to qualify for the lower duty rate under 7307.23.00.30; otherwise, it may be classified as 'other' with a different rate
• Provide a detailed product description and material certificate (e.g
• grade 304/316) to the CBSA to avoid delays
• Verify if the goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement by declaring the origin on Form B3
