Import Tips
• Ensure the glass cullet is free of contaminants like ceramics or stones, as CBSA may require a certificate of analysis
• Verify that the shipment is not classified as a specific glass waste heading (e.g
• 7001.00.00) by confirming its municipal origin
• Keep records of the recycling program source to support the municipal waste classification
