Import Tips
• Ensure the product label clearly states the alcoholic strength by volume, as this determines classification under 2208.50.00
• Verify that the gin is not prepared for culinary purposes, which would exclude it from Chapter 22
• Keep commercial invoices and certificates of origin ready for CBSA duty assessment
