Import Tips
• Verify the clinical trial is recognized by Health Canada and carry the trial registration documents for customs clearance
• Since the placebo is sugar-based, classify under 3006.93.20; if the base changes, review subheading alternatives
• Ensure the kits are sealed and labelled as clinical trial materials to avoid confusion with retail pharmaceuticals
