Ethylene Oxide Contaminated Industrial Solvent Mixture from Germany
A waste solvent blend from chemical manufacturing containing oxirane (ethylene oxide) as a residual contaminant above threshold levels. This mixture falls under tariff item 3824.81.00 because subheading note 3 to Chapter 38 specifically covers mixtures and preparations containing oxirane (ethylene oxide). The presence of ethylene oxide as a contaminant triggers classification here, provided the product is not a separate chemically defined compound.

Import Tips
• Ensure the mixture is properly documented as containing oxirane (ethylene oxide) and is not a pure chemical compound, as separate chemically defined compounds are excluded from Chapter 38
• Verify the concentration of ethylene oxide and provide a safety data sheet (SDS) to the CBSA upon request
• Check if the product qualifies as hazardous waste under Canadian environmental regulations, which may require additional permits from Environment and Climate Change Canada
