Import Tips
• Confirm the product is unslaked quicklime, not hydrated lime, to avoid misclassification
• Store in sealed, moisture-proof containers to prevent premature hydration during shipping
• If the quicklime is imported for use in heritage restoration, check if any provincial building codes impose additional standards on lime-based materials
