Import Tips
• Ensure the clinical trial is recognized by Health Canada and keep the trial authorization with shipping documents
• The sugar-based placebo capsules must be in measured doses; if they are bulk, classification may shift
• If the kit includes active atorvastatin, declare the full kit under 3006.93.20 to avoid split classification
