Import Tips
• Ensure live lobsters are transported in oxygenated containers to maintain survival and comply with CFIA animal health regulations
• Provide species documentation (Homarus spp.) and aquaculture permits for CBSA inspection
• Verify that the lobsters are not cooked or processed, as that would change the tariff classification
