Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the origin of the vein graphite, as Madagascar-origin products may have specific import requirements
• Ensure the flakes are not mixed with other materials, as mixtures are excluded from Chapter 25
• The CBSA may request a sample for verification of the flake size and purity
