Import Tips
• If the sunscreen base is put up for retail sale as a cosmetic, section note 2 may direct it to heading 33.04 instead of 3206.49.00
• Provide a certificate of analysis to CBSA to confirm the zinc oxide content and particle size
• Check whether the product is regulated by Health Canada as a cosmetic ingredient, which may require additional documentation
