Import Tips
• Ensure the prunes are dried and not partially rehydrated beyond the limits in Chapter Note 3, as excessive moisture may change classification
• Declare the correct net weight for duty calculation, as the CBSA may verify the product's state
• Keep documentation of the steaming process to prove it is a drying treatment, not a preservation method
