Import Tips
• Obtain a certificate of analysis showing the polarimeter reading; readings above 99.5° mean the product is not raw sugar for tariff purposes
• Ensure no flavouring or colouring is added, as that would change the tariff classification
• Check with CBSA on whether a tariff rate quota applies and secure a quota allocation to avoid higher over access commitment duties
