Import Tips
• Confirm that the 99.5% purity level meets the definition of a chemically defined compound under Chapter 29; impurities must be incidental and not alter the product's character
• Keep records of the end-use (e.g
• PTMEG production) in case the CBSA requests clarification on the import's purpose
• Consider using a customs broker familiar with chemical classifications to streamline the clearance process
