Import Tips
• Ensure the sludge is free of free acid or neutralized before import, as corrosive materials may trigger hazardous goods regulations
• Provide a laboratory analysis showing the hydrocarbon content to support classification under 2713.90.00
• Declare the product's fuel value and intended use to the CBSA to avoid misclassification
