Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain integrity (0-4°C) to preserve freshness and meet CFIA standards for seafood imports
• Prepare certificates of origin and species identification (Homarus americanus) for CBSA clearance
• Ensure the lobsters are not cooked or processed, as that would alter the tariff classification
