Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Ensure the coasters are made of natural cork and not cork agglomerates with binders, which may fall under a different heading

β€’ Declare the set as a single item if imported together, but be ready to itemize if the CBSA requests it

β€’ Check if the cork is sourced from a country with preferential tariff treatment to lower duties
