I think the real shame is that there are no tarrifs for importing entire children's toys.

I think there is, when you or a business is purchasing a complete product from another country. But if you are a Canadian company, there are no tariffs if you're manufacturing a product in another country and then selling it in Canada.
I think.
Tariffs are too complicated, and I won't be surprised if something I said is wrong.
According to the CBSA's website, to be considered a "part," the item must meet criteria including that it has no alternative function, be marketed and shipped along with other parts of the product, needed for "safe and prudent use" of the item, and be "committed" to use with the unit.
Slip covers are the bare minimum for "prudent use" of anything with children.
Here's hoping CBSA realizes their mistake and refunds her money.
The simplest solution is to just bring it back out of Canada and save the legal bills
