Import Tips
• Confirm the fillets are from pickerel (Esox niger) and not a similar species, as misclassification can lead to penalties
• Keep the fillets chilled, not frozen, and document the temperature during transit
• Ensure the product is not minced or ground, which would change the tariff item
