Import Tips
• Ensure the specific gravity is documented in the commercial invoice to support classification under 3901.20.00
• Verify the product is in primary form (pellets) and not a mixture with additives exceeding 1% by weight, which could alter classification
• Consult the CBSA's tariff classification advice if the bimodal nature raises questions
