Import Tips
• Confirm the stone is not further processed beyond sawing; any grinding or polishing may alter the tariff classification
• Provide a mineralogical description to the CBSA to support classification as greenstone
• Check for any anti-dusting agents added, which are allowed only if they do not make the product suitable for a specific use
