Import Tips
• Ensure the set is declared as pencils with encased leads, not as a 'set' that might trigger other classifications
• Keep the commercial invoice detailed with the number of pencils and their value to facilitate CBSA clearance
• Verify if the pencils contain any restricted dyes or pigments under Canadian consumer product safety regulations
