Import Tips
• Ensure the bump cap is clearly marked as safety headgear and meets Canadian standards (e.g

• Declare the material composition (reinforced plastic) accurately on the commercial invoice
• Be aware that if the cap is deemed a toy or carnival item, it may fall under Chapter 95 with different duty rates
