Import Tips

• Verify the exact 8-week period with the CBSA, as it is set by ministerial order and may differ from the September 15-November 15 window

• Ensure the asparagus is fresh or chilled and not trimmed or processed, to maintain classification

• Keep air waybills and harvest certificates to prove seasonal entry
