Import Tips
• Ensure the alcohol content is accurately declared, as spirits may affect excise duties or require additional permits from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
• Verify that the product is not classified as a beverage under Chapter 22, which would change the tariff treatment
• Keep records of the preparation process to support the classification under heading 20.08
