Import Tips & Compliance

• > Clearly state the concentration and chemical identity of the active ingredient on shipping documents to support classification under 3824.92.00

• If the masterbatch is mixed with polymers or other additives, verify whether it remains a chemical preparation or becomes a plastic article

• Check if the product requires registration under Canadian chemical management regulations
