Import Tips
• Confirm the jam contains at least 30% fruit by weight to meet common jam standards, though this is not required for tariff classification
• Check that the product is not considered a fruit jelly or paste under chapter note 2, which would move it to heading 17.04
• Ensure jars are properly sealed and labelled with 'lingonberry' as the fruit source for CBSA inspection
