Import Tips
• Confirm the product is free of alcohol to avoid excise duty assessments; if alcohol is present above 10%, the classification may shift to the alcoholic preparations under the same tariff item
• Provide the CBSA with a safety data sheet and product specification sheet to support the industrial raw material classification
• Import in bulk and avoid any retail-style packaging to prevent reclassification under Chapter 33 headings 3303-3307
