Destination brief · whole & chunk
CFIA rather than the US agencies, and bilingual labelling the moment material is repacked for retail. This page focuses on piece form, local processing, packing, and lot acceptance for whole/chunk material.
Importers in Canada can use whole or chunk material for different reasons, but both require a written piece definition so buyer and supplier judge the same lot on the same basis.
Choose whole or chunk for Canada when the buyer wants to inspect larger pieces and control milling, extraction preparation, or final cutting locally. Choose slices when a defined arrival-ready cut removes meaningful work at destination.
This destination signal is used here to frame piece form, processing flexibility, and shipment handling for whole/chunk material; broader import context remains on the general Canada page.
Contract processors in Canada can define the large-piece input they need and produce the final cut locally, avoiding a mismatch between an exporter's slice and a customer's line.
For Canada, “whole” or “chunk” is only the start; a written piece definition and approved sample make those trade words usable at receiving inspection.
The avoidable risk in Canada is using “whole” and “chunk” as if they were self-explanatory; receiving teams need a piece definition they can apply without guessing.
