Import Tips
• Ensure the hydroponic growing medium is completely removed before import, as residual soil or substrate could raise phytosanitary concerns
• Document the growing method if requested by CBSA, though it does not impact tariff classification
• Confirm that the product remains fresh or chilled and is not processed into another form
