Import Tips
• Ensure the resin is in primary form (granules, powder, or liquid) and that aniline and formaldehyde monomers exceed 95% by weight to qualify for this tariff item
• Keep a technical data sheet from the supplier to support the classification if requested by the CBSA
• Verify whether the resin contains any additives exceeding 1% by weight, as this may affect the classification under supplementary note 2
