Import Tips
• Ensure the taconite fines are not agglomerated, as that would require a different tariff item
• Provide the iron content analysis to CBSA, as duty is calculated on metal content
• Note that taconite is a low-grade ore; confirm it has not been processed beyond normal metallurgical industry practices
