Import Tips

• Confirm the emulsion is not a wax mixed with a liquid medium, which would be excluded from heading 34.04 and potentially classified elsewhere

• Provide the CBSA with the product's technical data sheet showing petroleum oil content below 70%

• Ensure the product is not put up for retail sale as a consumer product, which could affect classification
