Import Tips
• Be aware that zinc chromate is a hazardous substance; provide a safety data sheet (SDS) and comply with Canadian workplace hazardous materials regulations
• Confirm the product is a preparation based on zinc oxide, not a separate chemically defined compound, to stay under 3206.49.00
• If the pigment is used primarily for corrosion inhibition, CBSA may question the colouring function—keep application details ready
