Import Tips
• Ensure the product is declared as a mixed preparation of fish and molluscs, with the predominant component by weight determining the heading if it also falls under Chapter 16
• Verify that the batter and pre-frying process do not push the product into a different heading, such as prepared meals
• Keep records of the recipe and ingredient weights to support the classification if questioned by the CBSA
