Import Tips
• Classify as cast iron sanitary ware; the palladium plating is a surface treatment and does not shift classification to Chapter 71
• Include the palladium coating weight in the product specification sheet for CBSA review
• Verify whether the palladium content triggers any additional reporting requirements under Canadian precious metals regulations
