Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the stabilizer is present in such quantity that the product is no longer a chemically defined compound
Excessive additives may push classification to imine salts or other subheadings if the chemical identity is compromised.
If the stabilizer mixture is formulated for a specific application, such as a catalyst blend
Formulated products for particular uses are classified as chemical preparations under heading 38.24.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the stabilizer (BHT) and its concentration to show it is solely for preservation and does not alter the product's general use, per Chapter 29 note 1(f)
• Provide the safety data sheet to CBSA to confirm the stabilizer is not rendering the product suitable for a specific use
• Ensure the stabilizer level is within normal industry limits to avoid reclassification as a preparation
