Import Tips
• Verify that the cheesecake bites do not contain more than 20% by weight of meat, fish, or other animal products, which would shift classification to Chapter 16
• Ensure they are not specially prepared for animal feeding (heading 23.09)
• Declare the product accurately to the CBSA, including the presence of dairy ingredients
