Import Tips
• Ensure the hose is declared as a metal-reinforced plastic hose, not as a food processing machine part
• Provide documentation showing the PTFE is food-grade and meets Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) standards
• Confirm that the hose is not fitted with sanitary couplings, which would change the classification
