Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the cord is nonconductive and the RFL treatment is for adhesion, not for other purposes
• Provide a detailed product description to CBSA to support classification under 7019.19.00
• Consider whether the cord qualifies for duty-free treatment under a free trade agreement by checking the tariff preference rules
