Import Tips & Compliance
• Use insulated live-haul tanks with DO meters; declare as 'live fresh' to stay in 0302, not 0106 for ornamental fish
• Provide health certificates from farm confirming no diseases, as live imports face stricter FDA/USDA inspections
• Avoid holding post-harvest; exceeding chill times risks reclass to frozen under 0303
