Import Tips
• Ensure the glue is classified as a dextrin-based adhesive and not a product of Chapter 34 (e.g
• enzymatic preparations)
• Provide a detailed product description and SDS to CBSA to confirm the starch base
• Verify if the glue is put up for retail sale, which could affect classification under Section Note 2
