Brass-Plated Upholstery Staple Strips from Japan
Brass-plated staple strips with a narrow crown, designed for securing fabric to wooden frames in furniture upholstery. The brass plating provides corrosion resistance and an aesthetic finish. These staples are made of base metal and are presented in strips, which qualifies them under tariff item 8305.20.00 as staples in strips for upholstery.

Import Tips
• Ensure the staples are classified as base metal (e.g
• steel with brass plating) and not as precious metal, which would fall under Chapter 71
• Declare the strips as 'staples in strips' for upholstery use, and keep commercial invoices showing the material composition and quantity for CBSA verification
