Import Tips

• Verify the wadding is not impregnated with pharmaceutical substances, as that would classify under Chapter 30

• Ensure the sheets are not 'made up' into finished dressings, which could fall under 5601.21.30

• Provide sterilization certificates if applicable to expedite CBSA clearance
