Import Tips
• This is a within access commitment item under Canada's poultry tariff-rate quota; imports without a quota allocation or permit pay a much higher over access commitment rate
• Ensure the chicken is fresh or chilled (not frozen) and whole to match the tariff item
• Keep documentation on the air-chilling process and product origin for CBSA inspection
