Silicone Kitchen & Bath Caulk from Mexico

100% silicone sealant for sealing around sinks, tubs, and showers, offering waterproofing and mold resistance. It is classified as a caulking compound under tariff item 3214.90.00 because it is a non-refractory surfacing preparation for indoor use. The product is not a separate chemically defined compound, so it falls within the scope of Chapter 32.

Import Tips

• Confirm the caulk is not classified as a silicone in primary forms (Chapter 39), as that would change the tariff classification

• Keep packaging labels showing the intended use for sealing and waterproofing

• If the caulk is sold in retail packs, ensure the packaging meets Canadian labelling requirements for consumer goods
