Dead-Burn Refractory Magnesite
Large-particle natural magnesite (2-6mm) used directly as a soil amendment in agriculture to supply magnesium and neutralize acidity. It is unprocessed beyond crushing and sizing, which are permitted mechanical processes under Chapter 25 notes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the magnesite has been dead-burned or calcined
Dead-burned magnesite is classified under a different tariff item.
If the product is mixed with other fertilizer ingredients
Mixed fertilizers are classified in Chapter 31.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is not actually dead-burned (calcined), as that would change classification
• If used as a soil amendment, verify if it meets Canadian Food Inspection Agency requirements
• Declare the product as natural magnesite, not as a prepared soil conditioner
