Show the answer and walk-through
CBP's answer: C. C: Worth less than $1.00 individually
For Canada or Mexico, a commercial sample of negligible value under 9811.00.60 has a value, individually or in the aggregate as shipped, of not more than one U.S. dollar. Of the choices, only worth less than $1.00 individually fits (C). The $5 and $1,000 figures are far above the limit.
