Import Tips
• Ensure the product is declared as a prepared wax blend, not as a cosmetic, to avoid misclassification under Chapter 33
• Verify that the beeswax is bleached and mixed with other ingredients, as pure unmixed beeswax would fall under heading 15.21
• Keep detailed formulation records to support the classification if requested by the CBSA
