Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 4°C) to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and avoid reclassification as frozen (0303)
• Provide species certification (e.g
• Pagrus major) and scaling confirmation; declare exact container weight under 6.8kg
• Avoid any salting, brining, or freezing pitfalls that shift to headings 0305 or 0303
