Import Tips
• Confirm the seafood extract content does not exceed 20% by weight, as higher amounts would shift classification to Chapter 16
• Provide a detailed ingredient list and preparation instructions to CBSA to support classification as a soup preparation
• Verify that the seaweed is a permitted food ingredient under Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) guidelines
