Saxitoxin with Stabilizer from China
Saxitoxin with stabilizer is a chemically defined alkaloid toxin, naturally produced by certain marine dinoflagellates, to which a stabilizer has been added solely to ensure preservation during transport and storage. Under Chapter 29, the addition of a stabilizer necessary for preservation does not alter its classification as an alkaloid, and it is therefore classified under tariff item 2939.80.00 as an 'other' alkaloid.

Import Tips
• Ensure the stabilizer is added only for preservation or transport and does not make the product suitable for a specific use, as this could affect classification
• Provide a certificate of analysis and safety data sheet to the CBSA to support the chemical identity and intended use
• Verify whether a permit from Health Canada is required for importing this toxin
