Fee Changes for Fish Imports Announced
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced changes to fish inspection fees, effective March 31, 2024. The inspection service fee for imported fish will increase from $0.00215 to $0.00230 per kilogram. This adjustment will apply to various fish products, including ready-to-eat, canned, fresh, and raw molluscan shellfish. Industry professionals importing fish should account for this increase in their cost estimates and pricing strategies. The repealing of Section 5 and Table 3 indicates a shift in the fee structure, potentially affecting accounting practices for licensed importers.
