Import Tips
• Ensure the menthol is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale, as that would move it to heading 30.04 or similar
• Keep a certificate of analysis showing USP grade purity for CBSA verification
• If imported for pharmaceutical use, ensure compliance with Health Canada regulations
