Import Tips
• Ensure the base alloy's nickel content is below 5% to qualify as brass, not nickel silver, per subheading note 1(a)
• The nickel plating is a coating and does not change the base alloy classification
• Provide alloy composition certificates to CBSA to confirm the brass base and avoid misclassification
