Salted Smoked-Style Herring Fillets in Glass Tray from Japan

Herring fillets heavily salted to mimic smoking preservation, packed in 750g plastic-lined glass trays. The fillets are not actually smoked, and the salting preserves them for human consumption, making them classifiable under tariff item 0305.39.00 as salted fish fillets.

Import Tips

• Clearly document that the fillets are not smoked, despite the 'smoked-style' name, to avoid misclassification under smoked fish subheadings

• Ensure the salting process is sufficient for preservation and the product is labeled for human consumption

• Confirm the packaging meets CFIA standards for food contact materials
