Import Tips
• Include catch certificates and traceability docs to verify wild-caught status and comply with US sustainability regs
• Label packages clearly as 'fresh chilled cobia - keep refrigerated' to support temperature compliance at ports
• Anticipate USDA/APHIS inspections for live parasites in whole fish; pre-treat if required by origin country
