Import Tips

• Ensure the latex is not mixed with fillers or reinforcing agents, which would exclude it from heading 40.01

• Provide a product specification sheet to CBSA demonstrating it is in primary liquid form

• Verify that any stabilizers are within the small amounts allowed by Chapter 40 Note 5
