Import Tips
• Declare the full value of the binoculars including any accessories such as lens caps or straps, as these may affect the duty calculation
• If the binoculars are part of a digiscoping kit with a camera adapter, consider whether the adapter is separately classified under Chapter 90 or as a camera accessory
• Verify that the product does not contain any restricted materials (e.g
• certain coatings) that may require additional CBSA documentation
