Import Tips
• Verify the product consists only of stems and not whole seaweed plants, as whole seaweed may be classified under heading 12.12
• If the stems are roasted, seasoned, or otherwise prepared for direct consumption, they may fall under Chapter 20
• Ensure compliance with CFIA food safety regulations for seaweed products
