Import Tips

• Confirm the breading is fully cooked or par-fried to meet preparation standards; raw breaded shrimp may be classified differently

• Ensure packaging is non-airtight (e.g

• poly bags without vacuum sealing)

• Provide a detailed product description, including the butterfly cut and breading composition, to the CBSA for smooth clearance
