Import Tips
• Confirm that the chia seeds are not intended for sowing, as that would shift classification to heading 12.09
• Keep packaging and labelling clear for food use, as CBSA may require documentation for edible seeds
• Check for any import restrictions related to genetically modified organisms if applicable
