Import Tips
• Confirm the brass alloy composition meets the copper-zinc base definition (zinc predominates, nickel <5%, tin <3%)
• Declare the gold flash as a surface coating, not a precious metal content that would trigger Chapter 71 classification
• Include technical data sheets showing the wire's cross-sectional dimension and coating thickness for CBSA review
