Import Tips
• Ensure the powder meets the 90% sieve test (0.5 mm mesh) to qualify as semi-manufactured; keep lab test results for CBSA
• Declare the gold content accurately, as it may affect valuation and duty calculation
• If the powder is mixed with binders or other materials, it may no longer fall under this item—verify with a customs broker
