Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fish is below -0.6°C for chilled status; frozen shifts to Chapter 03 heading 0303

Provide catch certificates and health docs; swordfish requires CITES if over certain sizes

Avoid misclassification as fillets (0304) by ensuring steaks retain bone or skin attachment
