If it's the type that the pet shop buys in bulk and then repackages and lables itself, it may be worth having a look at the stuff to see how dusty it actually is. I know of pet shops that have stuff labelled dust which in my opinion is actually sand - in any case it was undusty enough for hamsters.
Play sand can be used as skwee said but sometimes it can be a bit heavy and the hamstere can't really get a good bath in it! But again it's worth actually having a look at what is available.
And there's the possibility of buying chinchilla sand online and having it delivered.
