Import Tips
• Classify the suspension as a carotenoid preparation, not a food additive, to ensure correct tariff application
• Provide CBSA with the concentration of beta-carotene and the vegetable oil carrier details
• Ensure the product is not dispersed in a non-aqueous medium for paint use, which would fall under heading 32.12
