Import Tips
• Provide halal or kosher certification to the CBSA if requested, as this may affect inspection priorities
• Verify that the fish species is not listed under CITES, as sturgeon-derived gelatin may face restrictions
• Check if the powder is blended with other ingredients, which could change the tariff classification
