Import Tips
• Ensure the balls are declared as parts of ballpoint pens, not as general bearings, to avoid misclassification
• Keep supplier documentation showing the tungsten carbide composition and diameter specifications in case CBSA requests verification
• Consider whether the balls qualify for duty relief under the Machinery Program if used in domestic pen manufacturing
