Import Tips

• Provide the CBSA with a detailed manifest showing the batteries are sorted by chemical type and free of lead, cadmium, and mercury

• Since these are from decommissioned satellites, include end-of-life certificates or mission completion documentation to prove they are spent

• Check with the CBSA for any special permits required for importing aerospace-grade battery waste
