Mackerel Fillets in Vegetable Oil from United States
Mackerel fillets preserved in vegetable oil in airtight tins are prepared fish products, whole or in pieces, not minced. They are classified under this tariff item as 'other' fish, as they are not specifically named in other subheadings of heading 1604. The vegetable oil packing ensures preservation and distinguishes them from fresh or simply frozen mackerel.

Import Tips
• Declare the type of vegetable oil used (e.g
• soybean, sunflower) on the commercial invoice
• If the mackerel is of a species listed in a free trade agreement, ensure you have the correct certificate of origin
• Be aware that the 'Other' classification may be subject to verification by the CBSA, so keep detailed product specifications handy
