Import Tips
• Ensure the child-resistant features are part of the carton design and do not constitute a separate article, which could affect classification
• Verify that the cartons are not imported with medicine inside, as pharmaceutical products are classified under Chapter 30
• Provide CBSA with documentation on the paperboard material and any coatings to support the tariff classification
