Import Tips
• Ensure the product is undenatured and below 80% alcohol by volume; provide a certificate of analysis to CBSA
• Verify the value per proof liter to confirm it falls under the low-value threshold
• Consider whether the end use qualifies for duty relief under the Customs Tariff's industrial end-use provisions
