Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the profiles are not cut, drilled, or assembled into railing sections, as that would be further working
• Provide CBSA with the polymer composition to confirm vinyl chloride exceeds 95% by weight
• If the profiles are supplied with mounting brackets, heading 39.25 may apply
