Import Tips
• Maintain accurate records of the copolymer composition, especially the ethylene oxide content, to justify classification under 3905.29.00
• Ensure the product is not further processed into film, as that would fall under headings 3920 or 3921
• Consider obtaining a ruling from CBSA if the classification is uncertain due to the specialty nature of the copolymer
