Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'head-off sockeye salmon' with scientific name to prevent reclassification as parts
• Include bills of lading specifying chilled condition and processing limited to head removal
• Test for histamine levels as chilled wild salmon is prone to scombroid risk during import
