Import Tips & Compliance
• For nameplate sheets, CBSA may ask whether the sheets are printed, coated, or otherwise processed beyond plain rolling
• If they have adhesive backing or are pre-cut to nameplate shapes, they may be classified elsewhere
• Keep the alloy composition certificate handy to confirm the 65/35 Cu-Zn ratio
