Import Tips
• Ensure the product is clearly marked as an asphalt article in rolls and not as coated paper or textile, which would fall under other chapters
• Provide a material safety data sheet (MSDS) to CBSA if requested, as bitumen products may be subject to specific handling requirements
• Verify the country of origin to determine applicable preferential tariff treatments under Canada's free trade agreements
