Import Tips
• Provide evidence of parasite destruction (e.g
• freezing history if applicable, though fresh) per FDA sushi import rules
• Use insulated shipping with real-time temperature monitoring to preserve 'fresh/chilled' status
• Declare exact processing level (e.g
• head-off) to prevent disputes over 'whole' vs. parts
