Import Tips
• Ensure the shells are clean and free of meat to avoid classification as animal by-products under Chapter 05
• Declare the product as 'waste of crustacean shells' and be prepared to describe the cleaning process
• Check with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) if the waste is for use in animal feed or fertilizer
