Import Tips

• Ensure the holder is not classified as a complete marker or felt-tipped pen, as this would change the tariff item

• Provide CBSA with a clear description of the holder's role in the pen's assembly

• Check if the holder qualifies for duty-free treatment under a free trade agreement if sourced from a partner country
