Import Tips
• Verify that the cufflinks are made of sterling silver (at least 92.5% silver) and not just silver-plated, as this affects the tariff classification
• If the cufflinks are part of a set with other jewellery items, consider whether the set should be classified as a whole under heading 71.13
• Keep purchase receipts to prove value and composition for CBSA assessment
