Zinc Stearate Powder from Germany
Zinc stearate powder used as a lubricant and release agent in plastics and rubber manufacturing. Although described as a catalytic preparation in the source, zinc stearate is a metal salt of a fatty acid and may not function as a reaction accelerator; classification under 3815.90.00 requires verification of catalytic activity.

Import Tips
• Confirm whether the zinc stearate actually acts as a catalyst or accelerator; if it is solely a lubricant, it should be classified elsewhere
• Provide technical data to the CBSA demonstrating the catalytic function if claiming 3815.90.00
• If not catalytic, consider classification as a stearate salt of chapter 29 or as a plasticizer of chapter 38
