Import Tips
• 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
