Import Tips
• Confirm that the calcium stearate is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale, as this could shift classification to another heading
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the purity and absence of impurities that could affect classification
• Ensure the product is not mixed with other substances that would change its essential character
