Import Tips

• Ensure the product is in primary form (pellets) and that butene-1 content is documented as 95% or more

• If the product is formulated with additives exceeding 1% by weight, it may still classify here but verify with the CBSA

• Keep records of the intended use to distinguish from finished adhesive products
