Import Tips
• Confirm the tubers are dried and not fresh, as fresh tubers may be classified under Chapter 7 as edible vegetables
• If the tigernuts are roasted, salted, or otherwise prepared for direct consumption, they may fall under Chapter 20 instead
• Ensure the product is free from soil and pests to meet CFIA import requirements
