Import Tips
• Confirm the retort pouch processing meets CBSA's definition of 'prepared or preserved'—cooking alone is sufficient
• Provide a detailed product description including species and cut (claw meat) on the commercial invoice
• Check if the product requires a CFIA import licence for fish and seafood
