Import Tips

• Provide the CBSA with the vessel's multi-temperature zone capabilities to confirm it is a refrigerated vessel

• Ensure the vessel's primary use is cargo transport, not passenger services, to avoid reclassification

• Consider any sanitary requirements for meat transport, though the vessel itself is classified under this item
