Import Tips

• Obtain CITES permits if applicable for overfished species and verify sustainability certifications like MSC for Pacific halibut

• Provide detailed species documentation (scientific name) and ensure product arrives fresh/chilled under 0°C to avoid reclassification as frozen

• Avoid common pitfalls like improper labeling of fillets, which shifts to HTS 0304; include catch certificates to prevent antidumping scrutiny
