Import Tips
• Ensure the bitumen is classified as petroleum bitumen, not as a prepared asphalt mix (heading 27.15), by confirming it is in a raw, unblended state
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing penetration and performance grade to support the tariff classification
• Verify if the product meets Canadian provincial specifications for highway use to avoid delays
