Import Tips

• Ensure the product is a mixture of alkylbenzenes, not a single compound, to avoid Chapter 29 classification

• Provide documentation on the intended use as a plasticizer intermediate to CBSA

• Verify that the product is not derived from petroleum, which would fall under heading 27.07
