Import Tips
• Ensure the product is labeled as flour from chia seeds and not mixed with other ingredients, as blends may shift classification
• Verify that the flour is not defatted with solvents, as that could alter the tariff classification
• Keep supplier documentation showing the botanical origin (Salvia hispanica) for CBSA verification
