Import Tips
• Label with exact species (e.g
• Ctenopharyngodon idella) and harvest date; U.S
• Customs may inspect for scaling compliance
• Use insulated shipping to maintain chill chain; document continuous temperature monitoring to avoid spoilage claims
• Avoid mixing with unscaled carp—pitfall leads to reclassification or penalties; segregate lots during import
