• Note that while roasted seeds may be classified under 1207.70.00, some CBSA rulings may place prepared snacks under Chapter 20; consult a customs broker
• Ensure the packaging meets Canadian labelling requirements for food products
• Verify that the roasting process does not add ingredients that could change the classification
