Import Tips
• Ensure the 'dressed' presentation (scaled, gutted, head-off) does not qualify as a fillet or fish meat, which would fall under heading 0304
• Provide the scientific name (Lates niloticus) and a detailed description of the processing for CBSA clearance
• Verify that the product is frozen and not dried, salted, or smoked
