Import Tips
• Document the vessel's refrigeration and modified atmosphere systems to support classification under 8901.30.00
• Ensure the CBSA receives the vessel's cargo capacity and intended use for flowers to avoid disputes
• Consider any phytosanitary requirements for the cargo, though the vessel itself is classified under this tariff item
