Import Tips
• Ensure the splittings are free from added binders or anti-dusting agents that could alter their classification
• Provide the CBSA with a mineralogical report confirming tremolite, as this amphibole is often confused with other asbestos types
• Since this item falls within a tariff-rate quota, secure a quota allocation or permit before importing; otherwise, the over access commitment duty rate applies
