Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E168 is the listing for vinyl acetate. The source, composition, concentration or test result must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Federal E168 cover?
