Import Tips
• Ensure the nibs are not roasted or coated with sweeteners, as that could reclassify them as confectionery
• Declare the product as 'carob nibs' and provide a product description to CBSA
• Verify that the nibs are free from pests and meet CFIA import requirements for dried plant products
