Import Tips
• For hot melt adhesive applications, confirm the VA content is above 95% to avoid reclassification
• If the pellets are mixed with tackifiers or waxes, the mixture may be classified as a preparation of heading 35.06, not as a polymer
• Keep the formulation details ready for CBSA review
