Import Tips
• Ensure the sheets are imported flat and not pre-formed or shaped, as thermoformed articles would be classified elsewhere
• Provide documentation confirming the styrene content and that the sheets are not cellular
• Check if the sheets meet Canadian standards for food contact if used for food trays
