Import Tips
• Ensure the notebook is not impregnated with diagnostic or laboratory reagents (e.g
• chemical indicators), as that would exclude it from Chapter 48 under Note 2(f)
• Declare the value in Canadian dollars and keep purchase invoices ready for CBSA inspection
• If the notebook contains printed instructional text beyond simple ruling, it may fall in Chapter 49, so verify the printing is subsidiary to its primary use
