Import Tips
• Confirm the sugar content does not turn the product into confectionery, which would shift classification to chapter 17
• Declare the exact sugar percentage to CBSA for accurate assessment
• Consider whether the product is sold as a snack or confectionery, as retail presentation may influence classification
