Import Tips
• Given the compact size, ensure the product is not mistaken for a toy or novelty item, which would be classified under Chapter 95
• If importing multiple units for resale, be prepared to provide the CBSA with the manufacturer's product literature to confirm the classification
• Check if the binoculars include a neck strap or case that could be considered a separate accessory for duty purposes
