Import Tips
• Ensure the product is a pure, separate chemically defined compound; mixtures may shift classification
• Have a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available for CBSA review, as DEP is regulated under consumer product safety rules
• Verify if the end-use (e.g
• cosmetics) triggers additional labelling requirements under Health Canada
