Import Tips & Compliance

Document exact processing steps (scaling, heading) with photos or affidavits to confirm 'not otherwise processed'

Comply with HACCP plans for chilled fish; temperature logs prevent spoilage claims at entry

Avoid mixing species in packs; pure cobia only to match specific subheading
