Import Tips
• Dental amalgam may be regulated as a medical device by Health Canada; verify if a medical device licence is required before import
• Declare the mercury content accurately, as it is subject to environmental controls under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act
• Ensure the product is not classified as a preparation of heading 3006, which would change the tariff treatment
