Import Tips & Compliance
• The mixture must consist of isomers of the same organic compound; provide the isomer ratio to the CBSA if requested
• Ensure the mixture is not a mixture of acyclic hydrocarbon isomers, which would be excluded
• No special permits are required, but a valid Commercial Invoice and HS classification must be provided
