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
