Organic Thompson Raisins from China
Organic Thompson Raisins are certified organic Thompson Seedless raisins dried without synthetic preservatives. They are classified under tariff item 0806.20.00 as dried grapes, specifically as sultanas, which are a recognized type of dried grape. The organic status does not change the tariff classification, and they are popular in health food markets.

Import Tips
• Verify that any organic certification is recognized by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for labeling purposes, but note that this does not affect tariff classification
• Ensure the raisins meet the definition of 'dried' under Chapter Note 3, including any permitted treatments
• Report the correct tariff item and be prepared to show the drying method if audited by CBSA
