Anchovy Paste from Japan

Concentrated paste from salted and cured anchovies, essential for Caesar dressings. Its dense, preserved form matches the subheading for pastes, but under the Canadian tariff item 1604.20.90, it is classified as 'Other' prepared or preserved fish, as there is no specific subheading for fish pastes.

Import Tips

• Declare the product as a preparation of fish, not as a sauce or seasoning, to avoid misclassification under Chapter 21

• Ensure the paste does not contain added ingredients that exceed 20% of non-fish content, as this could change the heading

• Provide a detailed ingredient list and processing description to the CBSA if requested
