Certified Organic Shallots
Fresh certified organic shallots, small bulb alliaceous vegetables with a delicate flavour, are classified under tariff item 0703.10.49 as dry shallots 'Other'.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the shallots are dry (not green) and free from soil and debris to meet CBSA import standards
• Verify whether the seasonal tariff item 0703.10.41 is in effect, as it may offer a lower duty rate during specified periods
• Keep records of organic certification, though it does not affect the tariff classification
