Import Tips
• Document the source of the ash from gold refining to distinguish it from municipal waste ash, which is excluded
• Ensure the ash is not classified as precious metal waste under heading 71.12, which would change the tariff classification
• Provide evidence of the intended use for arsenic compound manufacturing to CBSA
