Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the specific gravity range (0.934–0.938) in shipping paperwork to avoid CBSA reclassification
• For pipe-grade resins, confirm whether the product meets any Canadian standards for pressure pipes, as this may affect import documentation
• Verify if a free trade agreement reduces the applicable duty rate based on origin
