Import Tips
• Ensure the product is labeled as Anguilla japonica and is chilled, not frozen
• Keep records showing the eels are whole or gutted but not filleted, as fillets would shift classification
• Verify if the eels are certified organic to potentially benefit from statistical tracking, though duty rates remain the same
