Import Tips
• Ensure the mushrooms are fresh or chilled and not provisionally preserved, as that would shift classification
• Declare the weight of packaging in the total weight for duty calculation, per supplementary note 1
• Check if a CBSA regional suspension applies to this tariff item, as it may be temporarily replaced by a different item
