Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the arsenic pieces are not mixed with other metals or compounds, as that would change classification
• Keep records of the purity and source to facilitate CBSA clearance
• Check with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission if the arsenic has any radioactive impurities, as that could trigger heading 28.44
