Import Tips
• Ensure the product is clearly labeled as Thunnus maccoyii and kept at proper chilling temperatures (near 0°C) to maintain fresh/chilled status for classification
• Declare the correct species and product form (head-off, whole) on the CBSA customs invoice to avoid reclassification
• Verify whether a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) import permit is required for this fish species
