Import Tips
• Keep the fillets chilled and provide a catch certificate or documentation proving the swordfish was harvested under sustainable quotas, as CBSA may request this
• Ensure the product is labeled with the scientific name Xiphias gladius to avoid classification issues
• Check if the exporting country has a preferential tariff agreement with Canada to potentially lower the duty rate
