Import Tips
• Verify that the product is approved for quarantine use by the CFIA, as methyl bromide is a regulated fumigant
• Provide the CBSA with the product's technical data sheet and concentration to support classification
• Be aware that methyl bromide is an ozone-depleting substance, so you may need an import permit under Canadian environmental regulations
