Import Tips
• Verify that the UF4 is derived from natural uranium (not enriched or depleted beyond natural isotopic levels) to ensure correct classification under 2844.10.00
• Obtain a valid import permit from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) before shipment, as uranium compounds are controlled substances
• Declare the exact isotopic composition and chemical purity on customs documents to avoid delays
