Import Tips

• Ensure the tubing is clearly identified as unreinforced polyethylene without fittings to avoid reclassification

• Keep supplier documentation showing the polymer composition (100% PE) for CBSA verification

• If the tubing is for laboratory use, confirm it does not qualify for any end-use remission programs
