Import Tips
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the inulin content and absence of starch to facilitate CBSA clearance
• If the extract is organic, have the organic certification ready for potential duty preference claims
• Confirm the product is not roasted or used as a coffee substitute, which would exclude it from Chapter 11
