Import Tips
• Ensure the clinical trial is recognized by Health Canada and have the protocol or authorization letter ready for CBSA inspection
• Declare the kits as placebos for clinical trials under tariff item 3006.93.20; if the active comparator is included, the entire kit may still qualify
• Keep records of the measured dose packaging to support classification
