Import Tips & Compliance
• > Note that hydrogenation is a chemical modification; however, since the resin remains a petroleum resin, it stays in 3911.10.00
• Provide the CBSA with the hydrogenation process details to confirm the resin is not a separate chemically defined compound
• Check if the resin's light color meets the specifications required for your end-use application to avoid import delays
