Import Tips

• Verify the product is not a separate chemically defined compound, as those are excluded from Chapter 38

• Ensure it is not classifiable as a surface-active agent under Chapter 34 if its primary function is surfactant activity rather than leather processing

• Keep technical data showing its use in leather wet processing for CBSA
