Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the wax-resin adhesive is not a plastic or rubber coating visible to the naked eye, as that would shift classification to Chapter 39
• Declare the exact weight per square metre (130 g/m²) to confirm it falls within the 70–150 g/m² range
• Keep technical data sheets showing the coating composition in case CBSA requests verification
