High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) Strip from United States
These are narrow strips of high impact polystyrene (HIPS), a chemically modified styrene polymer, used in model making and crafts. They are non-cellular, not reinforced, laminated, supported, or combined with other materials. Under the Customs Tariff of Canada, they are classified under tariff item 3920.30.00 as plates, sheets, film, foil, or strip of polymers of styrene, as chemically modified polymers are classified with the unmodified polymer.

Import Tips
• Confirm the strips are not cut to shape or further worked beyond cutting into rectangles, as that would change classification
• Provide technical data showing the styrene monomer content predominates by weight
• Ensure the strips are not combined with any adhesive backing or other materials
