Import Tips
• Maintain documentation proving the New Zealand origin and BSE-free status, as this may affect admissibility
• Confirm that the product is for laboratory or therapeutic use, not for food, to avoid exclusion under Chapter 30
• Consider whether a CFIA import permit is needed for the bovine-derived material
