Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the pine nuts are shelled and free of any inedible parts, as inedible nuts are excluded from Chapter 8
• Declare the correct weight including packaging, as supplementary note 1 applies to heading 08.08 but not 08.02—verify with CBSA if unsure
• Keep records of origin to claim any preferential tariff treatment under trade agreements if applicable
