Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain USMCA certification of origin proving Canadian production and ≥93% raw value equivalence

Provide laboratory polarity test results confirming ≥99.6° for 1701.12.50 classification

Monitor annual quantitative limits under note 9(b)(2) to avoid overflow into higher duty rates
