Import Tips
• Ensure the product label lists the cuttlefish content by weight, as CBSA may verify it exceeds 20% for Chapter 16 classification
• Be aware that the dressing and vegetables are considered part of the preparation, but the cuttlefish must be the predominant component by weight
• If the salad is sold as a mixed preparation, confirm that the cuttlefish is the main ingredient to avoid reclassification
