Import Tips
• Ensure the fish is properly chilled and accompanied by a commercial invoice stating the scientific name (Urophycis tenuis) to support classification
• Verify that the shipment does not include fillets or other meat of heading 03.04, as those fall under different tariff items
• Check whether the product qualifies for preferential treatment under a free trade agreement, which may reduce the duty rate
