Import Tips
• Provide the certificate of analysis showing acetaldehyde content and purity to support the polymer-grade claim, though classification remains under 2909.41.00
• If the product is used in food-contact PET, ensure compliance with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulations
• Verify if the product qualifies for duty relief under the Chemicals and Plastics Duties Remission Order
