Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the profiles are not cut to size or have holes for hardware, as this constitutes further working
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing PVC content over 95% by weight
• Check if the profiles meet Canadian CSA standards for windows, as CBSA may request this for import clearance
