Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the binoculars are not classified as 'night vision' devices if they include any electronic image enhancement, as this would change the tariff classification
• If importing for personal use, you may be eligible for a personal exemption if the value is within the CBSA limits
• For commercial imports, ensure the product's country of origin is clearly stated, as this may affect the applicable duty rate
