Import Tips & Compliance

Provide aquaculture certification if farm-raised to distinguish from wild-caught and support traceability requirements

Ensure labeling specifies 'fresh or chilled' and weight in kg; avoid vacuum-packing that could imply preservation beyond chilling

Check for CITES permits if endangered strains; common error is misdeclaring as Pacific salmon leading to duty adjustments
