Import Tips
• Ensure the pitch is not classified as a separate chemically defined compound, which would exclude it from Chapter 27
• Verify the softening point to confirm it is a distillation residue, not a synthetic product
• Declare the end use (e.g
• electrodes) to the CBSA for accurate assessment
