Import Tips
• Ensure the oleoresin is declared as an extracted oleoresin of vegetable origin, not a food color preparation, to avoid reclassification under Chapter 32
• Keep a certificate of analysis showing color strength and solvent residues for CBSA verification
• Confirm whether the product is imported in bulk or retail packaging, as retail packs may fall under other headings
