The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the iron content is within 5-8% and the product is not malleable to meet the master alloy definition
• Keep records of the alloy composition for CBSA verification
• Consider whether the waffle plate form affects classification; if worked, it may fall under another heading
