Import Tips
• Ensure the beans are clearly marked as 'for processing' on commercial documents to support classification under this tariff item
• Verify that the goods are fresh or chilled, not frozen or dried, as those fall under different headings
• Keep records of the intended processing use in case CBSA requests clarification
