Import Tips
• Obtain a laboratory analysis confirming the copper content is below 94% by weight, as filter cake can vary significantly in composition
• Check whether the filter cake contains hazardous substances (e.g
• arsenic or lead) that trigger environmental controls under Canadian law
• Declare the material as waste and scrap, not as a chemical product, to align with the tariff item's scope
