Nikwax Leather Waterproofing Wax from Japan

A water-based wax emulsion for hiking boots, designed to re-waterproof breathable leather. It is a preparation for footwear or leather, not a pure wax, so it falls under tariff item 3405.10.90 as a leather care product.

Duty Rate — Japan → Canada

Import Tips

• Verify the product is not a pure wax, which would be classified under heading 34.04

• Provide the product's formulation to CBSA if requested

• Ensure it is not a liquid shoe shine for manufacturing, which would fall under 3405.10.10
