Import Tips
• Ensure the cartons are imported as separate packing containers, not with batteries inside, to avoid classification under Chapter 85 for electrical goods
• Verify that the paperboard is non-corrugated and that the cartons are not printed with motifs that could shift classification to Chapter 49
• Keep commercial invoices detailed with the material composition and dimensions to expedite CBSA clearance
