Import Tips
• Ensure the blocks are clearly labeled with the species (Merluccius hubbsi) and net weight to facilitate CBSA classification
• Verify that the product is fit for human consumption, as unfit fish would fall under Chapter 5
• Keep records of the processing intent (e.g
• surimi production) in case of inquiry
