Import Tips
• Veterinary use does not change the tariff classification, but if the xylitol is formulated into finished pet products, those are classified in other chapters
• Ensure the product is not put up in measured doses for veterinary medicaments, which would fall under heading 30.04
• Provide safety documentation for pet applications, though CBSA focuses on chemical identity
