Import Tips
• Ensure the oranges are fresh and free from pests or diseases; a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin is required by the CBSA
• Verify the applicable duty rate under the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariff or preferential rates under trade agreements like CUSMA or CPTPP, depending on origin
• Include the weight of packaging in the declared value, as supplementary note 1 applies to heading 08.08, not 08.05, but confirm with a customs broker for accurate assessment
