Import Tips
• Verify the brass core's zinc content predominates over other elements to confirm it meets the brass definition
• The nickel plating is a coating, not an alloying element, so it does not affect the base alloy classification
• Provide detailed product specifications to CBSA to distinguish this from nickel silver wire, which has different nickel content requirements
