Import Tips
• Specify 'hygana' or evisceration details in invoices; excessive processing can trigger 0304 reclassification
• Ensure ice is potable and packaging prevents contamination; FDA detains for poor hygiene often
• Provide traceability from lake to port to meet sustainability import requirements
