Import Tips
• Confirm the sheath is fully encasing the lead to ensure classification under 9609.10.00, as loose chalk would be classified elsewhere
• Provide a product description that clearly states the encased structure to avoid delays
• Check if the chalk pencil meets Canadian school supply safety standards for non-toxicity
