Import Tips
• Ensure the wire's copper-nickel alloy composition meets the definition of copper-nickel base alloys under the Customs Tariff, with nickel predominating over other elements except copper
• Declare the wire's cross-sectional dimension and whether it is coated, as this affects classification
• Keep supplier certificates of analysis to confirm alloy composition for CBSA verification
