Import Tips
• Ensure the alloy composition is documented (e.g
• certificate of analysis) to confirm lead content is below 99% and calcium is the predominant alloying element

• Declare the correct 8-digit tariff item and be prepared for potential CBSA verification of the alloy's metallic composition
