Import Tips
• Verify that the fins are from a species not listed under CITES or Canada's Species at Risk Act; great white sharks are protected in many jurisdictions, and import permits may be required
• Ensure the product is clearly labelled as fresh or chilled, not frozen, to avoid reclassification under heading 03.03
• Keep documentation of the species and origin to present to the CBSA upon request
