Import Tips & Compliance

Label containers clearly with net weight, species, and 'scaled fresh/chilled' to meet CBP requirements and prevent duty disputes

Maintain cold chain documentation (temperature logs) as chilled fish must not exceed 4°C upon entry

Avoid common pitfalls like undeclared viscera remnants which could trigger reclassification or penalties
