Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the product is a mixture of isomers of diaminotoluene, as Chapter 29 note 1(b) covers such mixtures
• Provide the isomer ratio to the CBSA for accurate classification
• Ensure the product is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale, which would change the classification
