Import Tips

• Confirm that the cuttlefish content exceeds the sardine content by weight to justify classification under 1605.59.90

• Ensure the stew is canned and shelf-stable, as fresh or frozen versions may be classified elsewhere

• Check CFIA requirements for fish and mollusc product labelling
