Import Tips
• Ensure the product label lists cranberries as the sole fruit ingredient and the syrup is sugar-based, as mixed fruit products may shift classification
• Verify the cans are commercially sterile and meet CFIA labelling requirements for net weight and ingredient declaration
• Keep shipping documents showing the processing method (heat preservation) to support the tariff classification
