Import Tips

• Ensure the smoking process does not add flavors or ingredients that could reclassify the product under Chapter 21

• The paste should be declared as a preparation of fish, not as a smoked fish product, which would fall under Chapter 3

• Keep records of the smoking and grinding process to support the classification
