Import Tips
• For aquarium or scientific use, provide a clear end-use declaration to CBSA to avoid classification as food product
• Check if the species requires a permit under the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act (WAPPRIITA)
• Ensure the product is frozen and not live, as live specimens would fall under a different heading
