Granular Ruthenium Excluding Powder
Ruthenium granules of 1-3mm size for PVD targets, sieve-tested to ensure they do not qualify as powder (less than 90% passes through a 0.5mm sieve). These granules are in semi-manufactured form and fall under tariff item 7110.49.00 for other ruthenium forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Keep sieve test results available to prove the granules do not meet the powder definition, as CBSA may request this documentation
• Ensure the granules are for PVD target use, which may require end-use certificates
• Verify if the granules are considered semi-manufactured, as this affects the tariff classification
