Import Tips
• Ensure the tomato sauce does not push the product into a different classification; if the sauce is a minor component, the snail remains the essential character
• Provide a certificate of origin if importing from a country with a free trade agreement with Canada to potentially reduce duties
• Verify that the canning process complies with CFIA commercial sterility standards
