Import Tips
• Ensure larvae are accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin, as CBSA may require proof of freedom from pests
• Declare the larvae as live animals for agricultural use; if they are certified organic, have the organic certification documents ready for verification
• Check with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for any import permits needed for live pollinators
