Import Tips

• Provide the CBSA with the vessel's ultra-precise temperature control systems to confirm it qualifies as a refrigerated vessel

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

• Check if any health or safety certifications are required for pharmaceutical transport
