Import Tips
• Classify sparkle hair pins as hair pins under 9615.90.00, not as toys, to avoid higher duty rates in Chapter 95
• Ensure the sparkle coating is a minor decorative element and does not turn the article into imitation jewellery
• Provide product images to CBSA if classification is questioned
