Import Tips
• Ensure the larvae are shipped in breathable containers with adequate moisture control to maintain viability during transit
• Declare the intended use (e.g
• animal feed) to CBSA, as this may affect classification or require additional permits from CFIA
• Check if the larvae are subject to any feed regulations in Canada
