Import Tips
• Handle soft-shell lobsters with extra care to prevent damage during transport, and maintain proper oxygen levels in aerated tanks
• Have species documentation (Homarus spp.) and health certificates ready for CBSA and CFIA inspection
• Ensure the lobsters are not cooked or processed, as that would change the tariff classification
