Import Tips

• Classify the ladle under 8454.20.00 only if it is not part of a larger casting machine; otherwise, Section XVI Note 4 may apply

• Ensure the invoice clearly states the ladle's use in metallurgy to prevent classification as a general steel article

• Consider the origin of the ladle to determine applicable preferential tariff treatments under Canada's trade agreements
