Cod Liver Paste from Mexico
Paste from cod livers, rich in omega-3s, processed into a spreadable form. Though liver-derived, the pureed form classifies as a fish paste, and under the Canadian tariff item 1604.20.90, it is 'Other' prepared or preserved fish, as no specific subheading exists for pastes.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the cod liver is from fish and not from another aquatic animal, as this affects classification
• The paste should be declared as a preparation of fish, not as a pharmaceutical or supplement, which would fall under Chapter 30
• Keep documentation of the production process, including any added oils or binders, to support the tariff classification
