Import Tips & Compliance
• > Ensure the resin is not mixed with plasticizers or other additives that could exceed 1% by weight, which would make it a composition
• Provide the CBSA with the resin's softening point and molecular weight data to confirm it is a petroleum resin
• Consider using the CBSA's advance ruling process to confirm classification before shipping large volumes
