Pear Chunks in Syrup from Japan

Pear chunks preserved in a medium syrup, ready for use in desserts or as a topping. These are pears otherwise prepared or preserved with added sugar, not homogenized or juiced, so they fall under tariff item 2008.40.90 as 'other' pears.

Import Tips

• Ensure the product is clearly labeled with the net weight and country of origin for CBSA inspection

• Verify that the syrup's sugar content does not push the product into a different classification, such as sugar confectionery

• Keep commercial invoices detailing the pear content and preparation method to support the tariff classification
