Import Tips & Compliance
• > Ensure the blocks are in unwrought condition and not further worked (e.g
• cut, drilled, or machined)
• Provide a certificate of analysis to demonstrate compliance with the impurity limits for non-alloyed tin
• Verify if the goods are subject to any trade remedies, such as anti-dumping duties, by checking the CBSA's active measures
