Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the concentrate is primarily a uranium ore
Heading 26.12 covers uranium ores and concentrates; if vanadium is secondary, classification may shift.

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
• Confirm the concentrate is not a uranium ore, as carnotite may contain uranium; if uranium is the primary metal, heading 26.12 may apply
• Report the vanadium metal content in kilograms for statistical purposes
• Provide a certificate of analysis to the CBSA to verify the concentrate's composition
