Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the profiles are not cut to size or have glazing beads attached, as this would be further working
• Provide a polymer composition certificate to show PVC content over 95%
• Check if the profiles meet Canadian window energy ratings, as CBSA may request this for entry
