Import Tips
• 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
