Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain aquaculture certification proving farmed origin to match 0302.14.00.03 subheading and avoid wild salmon rates

Maintain cold chain documentation (below 4°C) to prove 'fresh or chilled' status; frozen shifts to 0303

Declare exact species as Salmo salar; misdeclaration risks reclassification or penalties
