Import Tips
• Provide a detailed product specification sheet to the CBSA showing the 99.999% purity and the physical form (shot) to avoid misclassification
• If the shot is intended for solar cell production, note that no special permit is required for elemental tellurium, but keep records of the transaction for audit purposes
• Confirm whether the shipment qualifies for any free trade agreement preferential tariff treatment
