Import Tips
• Confirm the nickel content is 5% or more by weight to qualify as nickel silver under the subheading notes, and that zinc predominates over other elements except copper and nickel
• The square cross-section is still considered wire under the chapter notes, as long as the thickness exceeds one-tenth of the width
• Keep alloy certificates and wire dimensions for CBSA inspection
