Import Tips
• Verify that the grain shot does not meet the definition of powder under subheading note 1; if 90% or more passes through a 0.5 mm sieve, it would be classified under 7106.10.00 instead
• Provide a sieve analysis or product specification to support the classification as unwrought silver
• If the grain shot is imported for jewellery making, consider whether it might be subject to additional excise taxes under the Excise Tax Act
