Import Tips
• Verify the seed lac is not mixed with synthetic binders or additives, as this could change its classification
• Provide a detailed product specification sheet to the CBSA showing the resin's natural origin
• Consider whether the end-use (e.g
• electrical insulation) triggers additional safety standards
