Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the half-carcass is presented as a single unit and not further cut or trimmed, as processing may shift classification
• Verify the product is accompanied by a valid health certificate from the exporting country, as required by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)
• Declare the product as 'fresh or chilled' at the time of import; if frozen, it would fall under a different tariff item
