Frozen Atlantic Salmon for Sashimi from Japan
Super-frozen Atlantic salmon for sashimi, presented whole or dressed, frozen to temperatures that destroy parasites for raw consumption. Despite the specialized freezing process, the product remains an unprepared frozen fish of the species Salmo salar, not a fillet or other meat, so it is classified under tariff item 0303.13.00.
Duty Rate — Japan → Canada
Import Tips
• Provide documentation of the freezing process (e.g
• time-temperature logs) to demonstrate parasite destruction standards are met, as CBSA may request this for food safety verification
• Ensure the product is labeled as intended for raw consumption, and confirm it is not mixed with any additives or sauces that could alter classification
• Check with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for any additional import requirements for fish intended for raw consumption
