Import Tips
• Ensure the product is declared as an anti-oxidizing preparation for rubber, not as a separate chemically defined compound, to avoid misclassification
• Provide a safety data sheet (SDS) to the CBSA if requested, as rubber chemicals may be subject to health and safety review
• Verify whether the polymer-bound phenol content affects any excise or environmental levies
