Import Tips
• Ensure the combs are made of resin or plastic, not natural tortoise shell, which is restricted under CITES
• Declare the value per gross accurately, as higher-valued combs may attract different duty assessments
• Keep supplier invoices detailing material composition to expedite CBSA clearance
