Import Tips
• Verify the product is a single chemically defined salt; if it is a mixture of homologues, it may be classified elsewhere
• Ensure the product is not put up for retail sale as a preparation, which would fall under Chapter 34
• Keep documentation of the sulfonic acid content and salt formation for CBSA review
