Import Tips

• Confirm the xylitol is not formulated with cosmetic additives that render it suitable for specific use, as this could move it to Chapter 33

• Declare the cosmetic grade accurately, but note that purity and grade do not change the tariff classification

• Keep safety data sheets for CBSA inspection
