Import Tips
• Confirm that the sugar content is incidental and does not exceed the protein threshold, as products with higher sugar may be classified elsewhere
• Secure a quota allocation for the within access commitment rate; without it, the over access rate applies
• Provide detailed product composition to the CBSA for accurate classification
