Import Tips
• Ensure the product is labelled as an absolute and not an essential oil, as the extraction method affects classification
• Provide a phytosanitary certificate if the flowers originate from a country with plant health restrictions
• Confirm the duty rate with the CBSA, as it may be duty-free under certain trade agreements
