Import Tips
• Ensure the copper purity is documented, as flakes of refined copper (≥99.85%) may be distinguished from alloy flakes for classification purposes
• If the pigment is dispersed in a solvent or resin, verify whether it should be classified as a prepared pigment under Chapter 32 rather than as a copper flake
• Provide a detailed product specification sheet to the CBSA to support the tariff classification
