Import Tips

• Verify the lubricant is not classifiable as a medicament under heading 30.03 or 30.04, which would take precedence

• Ensure the product is not a separate chemically defined compound, which would fall under Chapter 29

• Document the PFOS content for CBSA and Health Canada compliance
