Import Tips
• Ensure the tea retains its essential character; if spices dominate, the product may be classified as a mixed condiment under heading 21.03
• Declare the spice content to CBSA and provide a sample or ingredient breakdown if requested
• If the chai is in tea bags or small packs, consider the alternative tariff item for immediate packings
