Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the product as an isomer mixture of toluenediisocyanate, not as a single compound, to align with the tariff item
• Keep safety data sheets (SDS) available for CBSA inspection, as TDI is a hazardous chemical
• Confirm the shipment's packaging meets Canadian transport regulations for dangerous goods
