The export of fish and fish products is regulated by the Fish, Seafood and
Production Division, and includes provision for the certification of product
for export. Product must originate from a registered fish processing
establishment and meet defined standards. There are regulatory exceptions for
live lobster, live crabs and some products from fisher-packers. Contact your local Fish, Seafood and Production
office for information.
Foreign country requirements are based on information available to the
Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) at the time of posting. All
exporters should confirm product requirements before commencing full scale
production for export to a foreign market. The CFIA assumes no liability for the
accuracy of this information.
