Import Tips & Compliance

Label container net weight accurately; U.S

Customs audits small pack sizes for retail intent

Provide catch certificates to prove wild-caught cobia; farmed may require additional aquaculture docs

Ensure no additives or glazing ice exceeding 5% weight to avoid 'otherwise processed' reclassification
