Import Tips
• Ensure the resin is in primary forms (e.g
• granules, powder) and not mixed with additives exceeding 1% by weight, which could alter classification
• Verify the monomer ratio (melamine+formaldehyde ≥95%) with a certificate of analysis to avoid reclassification
• Declare the end use (e.g
• moulding, laminates) to the CBSA if requested, as it supports the tariff item
