Import Tips

• Classify the wax as an artificial wax under heading 34.04, not as a candle product, since it is imported in bulk before candle forming

• Provide a technical data sheet showing the chemical synthesis process to confirm it is not a natural wax

• Ensure the product is not mixed with colorants or fragrances, which could alter classification
