Import Tips
• Ensure the oats meet the Chapter 11 starch (>45%) and ash (<5%) content limits for oats; retain lab certificates for CBSA verification
• Declare the product as rolled oats, not as prepared foods, to avoid heading 19.04
• If the oats are in retail packages under 1 kg, note that packaging weight is included in duty calculation only for certain starch items, not this one
