Import Tips
• 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
