Import Tips
• Verify the chromium content exceeds 0.2% to ensure classification as high-alloy steel, which may affect duty calculations
• Provide end-use documentation if the snips are for aerospace applications, as this may influence CBSA classification
• Ensure the product is not classified as machinery under Chapter 84 if it has any powered components
