Import Tips
• Ensure the bags are classified as converted paper products, not as uncoated kraft paper in rolls, to avoid misclassification
• Verify the paper's weight and fibre content to confirm they meet the definition of kraft paper under Chapter 48
• Keep commercial invoices detailed with the product's dimensions and material specifications for CBSA inspection
