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
