Import Tips
• If the sodium nitrate is imported for use as a fertilizer, check whether it should be classified under Chapter 31 instead of Chapter 28
• Ensure the product is pure NaNO3 without added anti-caking agents that could alter its classification
• For food-grade sodium nitrate, verify compliance with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulations
