Import Tips
• Declare the product as bulk foodservice goods, not retail-packaged, to ensure correct classification
• Be aware that large shipments may require additional CBSA inspection for food safety compliance
• Keep records of the oil-to-fish ratio, as excessive oil could be seen as a sauce and affect classification
