Canada HS 152000 Importers

Crude glycerol (glycerine), glycerol waters, and glycerol lyes constitute a specialized import category closely linked to the fats and oils processing industry. Glycerol is primarily produced as a by-product of biodiesel manufacturing and soap production through the saponification or transesterification of fats and oils. Canadian importers of crude glycerol include major commodity trading firms such as Archer-Daniels-Midland and Third Coast Commodities, alongside specialty chemical distributors like Univar Solutions and Nalco Canada. These companies supply crude glycerol for downstream refining into pharmaceutical-grade glycerine, personal care products, food additives, antifreeze formulations, and industrial applications including resin and polymer manufacturing.
