Import Tips
• 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
