Import Tips & Compliance
• Hydrated forms of chemically defined compounds are classifiable in Chapter 28, as water of crystallisation is not an added substance
• Provide the exact chemical formula (FeCl3·6H2O) on the invoice
• If used in sewage treatment, check for any provincial environmental permits required
