Import Tips

• Label with country of catch, harvest date, and 'scaled sablefish' to meet US Customs verification; photos may be requested

• Maintain cold chain documentation; temperature excursions can lead to frozen reclassification and higher duties

• Check for sablefish-specific quotas or ADF&G certifications if from Alaska waters to prevent entry denial
