Import Tips
• Include scientific naming (Dicentrarchus spp.) on commercial invoice to match HTS description and prevent disputes; ensure chain-of-custody documentation for farmed vs. wild to meet sustainability labeling if required; watch for common pitfall of partial gutting which may classify as 'dressed' under different subheading
