Import Tips
• Maintain a strict cold chain (0-4°C) to keep the geoducks fresh-chilled, not frozen, as frozen product falls under a different tariff item
• Include the scientific name Panopea generosa and family Hiatellidae on the commercial invoice
• Verify CFIA import requirements for live or fresh molluscan shellfish, including any health certificates
