Import Tips
• CBSA may scrutinize the lead content in C36000 brass, as lead is not a typical brass element
• Ensure the alloy certificate shows zinc content exceeding lead and other elements
• If the strip is imported in coils, it may be classified under 7409.21.00 instead
• Check for any environmental regulations on lead content in imported goods
