Import Tips

• Provide ANSI Z87.1 or CSA Z94.3 certification documents to substantiate the safety eyewear classification

• Clearly describe the bifocal segment and side shields on the commercial invoice to avoid misclassification as prescription glasses

• Verify if the product qualifies for duty-free treatment under trade agreements like CUSMA, if applicable
