Frozen Cauliflower Florets
Frozen cauliflower florets are separated from the head, blanched, and individually quick-frozen without the use of vinegar or acetic acid. They are prepared and preserved by freezing, which falls under the tariff item for broccoli and cauliflowers in the Customs Tariff of Canada. This product is not mixed with other vegetables, so it is classified specifically as cauliflower.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is labelled as 'frozen cauliflower' and does not contain any added sauce, seasoning, or other vegetables, as that may change classification
• Declare the net weight in kilograms and provide a commercial invoice with the product's botanical name (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) to expedite CBSA processing
• Check whether a Canadian import permit is required under the Safe Food for Canadians Act for frozen vegetables
