Import Tips
• Confirm the CAS number (5743-27-6) and provide a certificate of analysis
• If the product is imported as a food additive, check whether Health Canada requirements apply in addition to CBSA customs clearance
• Note that inorganic salts of organic compounds are classified with the organic compound, so the lactone ring dictates the tariff item
