Import Tips & Compliance
• Document that the silicon dioxide is solely for anti-caking and does not alter the product's general use
• Ensure the additive level is within the limit necessary for preservation, as excessive amounts could change classification
• Include the additive's function and percentage in the commercial invoice for CBSA review
