Import Tips

• Ensure the adapter is declared as a part of ballpoint pens, not as a complete pen, to avoid misclassification

• Keep technical drawings or product specifications available in case the CBSA requests proof of its function

• Verify whether the adapter qualifies for any preferential tariff treatment under Canada's free trade agreements
