Import Tips
• Confirm the resin is not a separate chemically defined compound; PAE resins are typically polymeric and may fall under Chapter 39 if not formulated as paper finishing agents
• Provide evidence of use in paper manufacturing, such as technical literature or end-user certificates, to support classification
• Check if the product requires a permit under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) due to its chemical composition
