A commercial-grade nickel(II) complex of 2,2'-thiobis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-n-butyl)-phenol) with 1-butanamine, used as a light and heat stabilizer in polyolefins. This organo-inorganic compound falls under tariff item 2942.00.00 as an 'other organic compound' because it contains a metal (nickel) directly linked to carbon and is not more specifically classified elsewhere in Chapter 29.

Import Tips
• Ensure the product is properly identified as a nickel organic compound and not a finished polymer additive preparation; provide the technical data sheet to CBSA
• Verify if the stabilizer is imported in pure form or as a masterbatch, as the latter may fall under a different heading
• Consider obtaining a binding ruling from the CBSA to avoid classification disputes
