Import Tips
• Provide chain-of-custody records showing chilled temperature maintenance below 4°C to prove 'fresh or chilled' status
• Label with country of catch and harvest date; watch for re-export pitfalls if transshipped
• Ensure no pelletizing or binding, as that would classify under Chapter 3 pellets note
