Import Tips
• Ensure the pollock meat blocks are not minced or ground, as minced fish meat may be classified under a different subheading
• Verify that no binders or additives have been used to form the blocks, as this could change the classification
• Maintain the chilled state during transport and provide documentation of the species (Gadus chalcogrammus) for CBSA verification
