Import Tips
• For bulk shipments, ensure the packaging weight is included in the customs value calculation, as per Supplementary Note 1
• Confirm the taro is not treated with any preservatives beyond chilling, as that could affect classification
• Provide the intended use (e.g
• processing) to CBSA to support the tariff classification
