Import Tips
• Ensure the product is clearly labelled as silicon carbide (SiC) with purity and grit size on the commercial invoice to support classification under 2849.20.00
• If the powder is mixed with any organic binders or additives, it may shift to another heading—confirm with the CBSA before shipping
• Keep a safety data sheet (SDS) handy, as silicon carbide dust may be subject to workplace hazard regulations
