Import Tips
• Verify that the fins are fit for human consumption and not otherwise excluded under Chapter 5
• Note that Canada enforces strict regulations on shark fin trade under the Fisheries Act; you may need permits under CITES if the species is listed
• Ensure the shipment is accompanied by documentation proving the fins are frozen and not dried, as dried fins fall under a different heading
