Import Tips
• Phloroglucinol used in pharmaceutical preparations may require compliance with the Food and Drugs Act; confirm with Health Canada if it is an active ingredient
• For laboratory reagent use, provide the CAS number and purity grade to CBSA to avoid delays
• Check if the product is put up in measured doses, as that could reclassify it under Chapter 30
