Import Tips & Compliance

• Confirm the collage is a one-of-a-kind original, not a reproduction, to meet the tariff item's requirements

• Prepare an artist's invoice or provenance document to show the CBSA that the work is original and hand-executed

• If the artwork is framed, ensure the frame is typical for such pieces, or it may be classified separately under another heading
