If the foil has an adhesive backing for shielding application
Adhesive-backed foil is considered backed and falls under the backed foil tariff item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide a mill certificate or lab analysis confirming aluminum purity and thickness, as electronics-grade foil may be scrutinized
• Confirm the foil is unbacked and not laminated, as any backing changes the tariff item
• Keep records of the intended use to justify classification if questioned by CBSA
