Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the cans are truly embossed (raised designs) and not merely printed, as CBSA may verify this to distinguish from other tariff items
• Verify the capacity is under 300 litres and that cans are not fitted with any mechanical or thermal equipment
• Keep commercial invoices detailing the embossing process to support classification
