Import Tips
• Maintain the cold chain during transport to ensure the fat arrives chilled, not frozen, as this affects the tariff classification
• Provide documentation showing the fat is free of lean meat to avoid reclassification under meat headings
• Check if a Canadian importer requires a health certificate from the exporting country
