Import Tips
• > Ensure you have a valid import permit from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) before shipping, as spent fuel is strictly controlled
• Coordinate with the CBSA for advance notification of radioactive shipments and provide all documentation proving the goods are spent fuel elements
• Verify that the cartridges are not mixed with other materials that could change classification
