Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the sand is not coloured or treated with additives that make it suitable for a specific use, as anti-dusting agents are only allowed if they do not alter general use
• Provide documentation of the sand's natural state and processing steps
• Check that the sand is not a metal-bearing sand, which would fall under Chapter 26
