Import Tips
• Verify that the powder is in primary form and not mixed with pharmaceutical excipients, which could reclassify it under Chapter 30
• Provide documentation to the CBSA showing the iodine is chemically bound to the polymer chain, not merely blended
• If the product is intended for medical use, ensure it meets Health Canada requirements, but note that tariff classification remains under 3904.90.00
