Import Tips
• Document cutting method to prove steaks are from whole fish, not processed fillets, preventing shift to 0304
• Include health certificates from exporting country confirming no antibiotics, vital for US FDA entry
• Watch portion sizes; oversized steaks risk scrutiny as 'other fish meat' under 0304
