Import Tips
• Ensure the pomegranate flavoring is a natural essence and does not constitute a separate ingredient that changes the tea's essential character
• The 175g pouches are immediate packings under 3 kg, so no quota allocation is needed
• Keep the product's antioxidant claims substantiated if the CFIA requests evidence during import inspection
