Import Tips
• Confirm the clams are whole or in pieces but not further processed (e.g
• breaded or cooked), as that may alter classification
• If importing from a country with a preferential trade agreement, ensure the certificate of origin is completed to benefit from reduced duty rates
• Be prepared to provide species identification (Mercenaria mercenaria) to CBSA upon request
