Import Tips
• Confirm whether the flaxseed meal is partially defatted, as fully defatted residues may fall under heading 23.04
• Provide a detailed product description to CBSA, including the degree of fat content
• Ensure the packaging clearly states 'flaxseed meal' to avoid confusion with whole seeds
