Import Tips
• Ensure the product is a separate chemically defined compound; if it contains impurities, they must be incidental to production
• Declare the correct CAS number (103-45-7) on the commercial invoice to facilitate CBSA verification
• If the product is in a solution with a solvent, confirm the solvent is solely for safety or transport to maintain classification
