Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the square profile cross-section exceeds 1 mm and that LDPE contains at least 95% ethylene by weight
• Provide a polymer datasheet to the CBSA to confirm the composition
• Ensure the product is not further worked (e.g
• not cut to specific lengths or surface-decorated) to maintain classification under 3916.10.00
