Import Tips
• Document exact processing (scaling and heading only) with photos or processor affidavits to prevent misclassification as fillets
• Ensure container is 'immediate' (primary retail pack) not secondary shipping box, as HTS specifies immediate container weight
• Comply with USDA/APHIS import permits if from regions with disease risks for Gadidae species
