Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the processor is not integrated with other machinery (e.g
• etching) to avoid classification as a composite machine
• Declare the developing solution separately if imported in bulk
• Provide a detailed description of the spray mechanism to CBSA to support the classification
