Import Tips
• Ensure the xylitol is a separate chemically defined organic compound and not mixed with other sweeteners, as mixtures may shift classification
• Declare the end use (toothpaste) but note that end use does not affect the tariff classification under 2905.49.00
• Keep certificates of analysis to confirm purity for CBSA verification
