Import Tips

• Ensure live lobsters are transported in aerated tanks with proper oxygen levels to maintain survival during transit

• Have species identification (Homarus americanus) and health certificates ready for CBSA and CFIA inspection

• Verify that the lobsters are not cooked or processed, as that would change the tariff classification
