Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the resin is in primary form (liquid) and not mixed with additives exceeding 1% by weight, which could change classification
• Provide the CBSA with the resin's formulation to confirm it is unsaturated
• Check if the resin contains styrene, which may trigger additional hazardous goods regulations
