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 stabilizer's purpose and concentration to CBSA, ensuring it is solely for preservation or transport
• Keep records of the product's chemical purity, as impurities could affect classification
• Verify that the stabilizer is not a colouring or odoriferous substance, which would require additional justification under note 1(g)
