Import Tips
• Document the alloy's lead and tin percentages to confirm classification as unwrought lead alloy, as billets may be mistaken for bars or profiles
• Verify if the billets meet the definition of unwrought products under section note 9, as they must not have been worked beyond simple trimming or de-scaling
• Consult the CBSA's tariff classification advice if the billets have any surface treatment that could alter their classification
