Import Tips
• Check the CBSA order for the specified import period for Chinese cabbage; Joi Choi is covered by item 0704.90.41 only during that period
• Ensure the product remains fresh or chilled and is not treated for preservation, as that would shift classification to heading 07.11
• Remember to include package weight in the total weight for duty calculation
