Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the bauxite is not artificially fused or refined to corundum quality
Natural bauxite falls under Chapter 25.
If the product is aluminum oxide not meeting artificial corundum definition
Aluminum oxide is classified separately.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the calcined bauxite has been processed to meet artificial corundum specifications, including high alumina purity
• Have documentation showing the fusion process and chemical composition ready for CBSA
• Note that natural bauxite without artificial processing is classified elsewhere
