If the guacamole is considered a vegetable preparation rather than a fruit preparation

Avocados are botanically fruits but sometimes treated as vegetables; if the CBSA classifies it as a vegetable preparation, heading 20.05 may apply.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure the guacamole does not contain more than 20% by weight of meat, fish, or other animal products, which would shift classification to Chapter 16
