Import Tips
• Use immediate containers like pouches/cans only; secondary packaging doesn't count toward 6.8kg limit
• Test for histamine levels in scombroid species; accelerated decomposition risks FDA detention
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'scaled, chilled, not frozen' to prevent 0303 misclassification
