Veal Liver Pate in Tin from Mexico
Veal Liver Pate in Tin is a gourmet preparation made from veal (calf) liver, herbs, and wine, preserved in sealed metal tins for shelf stability. It is classified under tariff item 1602.20.90 as an 'other' preparation of liver, since it is not a pâté with truffles nor a poultry paste, and is intended for charcuterie boards or spread use.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the tin's contents are fully cooked and preserved, as raw or frozen liver would fall under Chapter 2 instead of Chapter 16
• Check that the product does not contain any prohibited ingredients under Canadian food regulations, such as undeclared allergens
• Be prepared to provide a detailed ingredient list and processing method to CBSA officers to support the tariff classification
