Import Tips

• Declare the flakes under 2815.20.00, and note that the 90% purity is acceptable under the tariff item as long as the balance is water or harmless impurities

• The CBSA may request a certificate of analysis to confirm the composition

• Ensure the flakes are packaged in moisture-proof containers, as they are hygroscopic
