Import Tips
• Ensure the fish is clearly labeled as fresh or chilled, not frozen, and provide a species certificate (e.g
• Oreochromis niloticus) to avoid misclassification
• Verify whether the shipment qualifies for any preferential tariff treatment under Canada's free trade agreements, as MFN duty rates may not apply
