Import Tips
• Confirm that the clam content is greater than the salmon content by weight to justify classification under 1605.59.90
• Ensure the chowder is canned and shelf-stable, as refrigerated versions may be classified differently
• Check CFIA requirements for fish and mollusc product labelling, including country of origin
