Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the magnets are clearly marked as unmagnetized on the commercial invoice to avoid classification as finished magnets
• Verify that the Alnico alloy composition is accurately declared to prevent customs delays
• Consider applying for a ruling from the CBSA if you are unsure about the tariff classification
