Import Tips
• Provide a detailed ingredient breakdown by weight to CBSA to confirm the classification, as mixed products may be scrutinized
• Ensure the gelatin used is of food-grade and meets CFIA standards
• Verify that the abalone species is not listed under CITES, which could require additional permits
