Import Tips
• Ensure live lobsters are transported in aerated tanks with proper oxygen levels to maintain survival during transit
• Provide species documentation (Homarus gammarus) and health certificates for CBSA and CFIA inspection
• Verify that the lobsters are not cooked or processed, as that would change the tariff classification
