Import Tips
• Ensure the beads are not mounted or strung in a way that could classify them as imitation jewellery (Chapter 71), which would change the tariff classification
• Keep commercial invoices with detailed descriptions and photos of the beads to expedite CBSA clearance
• Verify the beads do not contain lead crystal (over 24% PbO) if claiming a general glass classification
