Import Tips
• Ensure the quicklime is in its crude, unhydrated state—any slaking or hydration would shift classification
• Declare the product as quicklime (calcium oxide) and be ready to provide a certificate of analysis confirming calcium oxide content
• Check with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency if the product is marketed as a soil amendment, as agricultural inputs may have additional labeling requirements
