Import Tips
• Verify that the tortoise shell is from a species not listed under CITES; if it is, you will need a permit from Environment and Climate Change Canada before CBSA will release the goods
• Declare the product as 'unworked tortoise shell' and be ready to provide documentation of the species and origin
• Check whether the goods qualify for duty-free treatment under a free trade agreement by providing a valid certificate of origin
