Import Tips
• Ensure the product is declared as a food preparation containing abalone, not as a sauce (heading 2103), to avoid classification disputes
• Verify the fermentation process does not add ingredients exceeding 20% non-abalone content, as per Chapter 16 Note 2
• Keep records of the abalone species and processing method for CBSA verification
