Import Tips
• Provide catch certificates from RFMO (Regional Fisheries Management Organization) to prove legal wild-caught status
• Label with exact scientific name (Thunnus maccoyii) and harvest date to prevent misclassification
• Avoid internal temperature exceeding 0°C during transit to maintain 'chilled' status over frozen
