Import Tips
• Clarify the exact chemical structure (C7H16O) in your documentation, as the CBSA may question whether it is a hexyl or heptyl alcohol
• Confirm the duty rate for 2905.19.00, which may be duty-free under trade agreements
• If the product is a mixture of isomers, consider whether a more specific subheading applies
