Stabilized Tetramethyl Lead for Transport
Stabilized tetramethyl lead for transport includes a stabilizer necessary for preservation or transport, as allowed by Chapter 29 note 1(f). The product remains a separate chemically defined compound under tariff item 2931.10.00, as the stabilizer does not render it suitable for a specific use.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
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 separate chemically defined compound
The residual subheading covers other organo-inorganic compounds when the primary compound is not clearly identifiable.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the type and purpose of the stabilizer to CBSA, ensuring it is solely for preservation or transport
• Keep records of the stabilizer concentration, as excessive amounts could alter classification
• Verify that the stabilizer is not an anti-dusting agent or colouring substance, which would require additional justification under note 1(g)
