Import Tips
• Use IPPC-compliant wooden packaging if applicable and maintain cold chain logs to prove 'fresh/chilled' status
• Declare exact weight and species on entry forms; misdeclaration as generic flatfish can trigger audits
• Check for additional duties under trade agreements like USMCA for qualifying Alaskan-sourced imports
