Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the BHT level is only for preservation or transport and does not make the product suitable for a specific use, per Chapter 29 note 1(f)
• Provide the stabilizer concentration and purpose in commercial documents
• Confirm the stabilizer is not a colouring or odoriferous substance that would change classification
