Import Tips
• Specify the exact chemical formula (Mn3O4) and purity level on the commercial invoice to avoid confusion with MnO2
• If the product is used for ferrite production, note that it is not a prepared magnetic material, which would fall under Chapter 85
• Keep a certificate of analysis to support the classification in case of CBSA inspection
