Import Tips
• Ensure the pyrite sand is unroasted and has not undergone any thermal or chemical processing beyond washing or mechanical sizing, as this would exclude it from Chapter 25
• Provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
• Declare the product under HS code 2502.00.00 and be prepared to show documentation of its natural state to the CBSA
