Import Tips
• Do not describe the product as a pigment on customs documents, as that may lead to misclassification under Chapter 32
• Provide the chemical name and CAS number to CBSA to confirm it is copper sulfate pentahydrate
• If used in dyeing, ensure it is not mixed with other substances that could change its classification
