Import Tips
• Include aquaculture certification and water quality reports to support 'fresh/chilled' claim and avoid quota issues
• Use insulated shipping with temperature monitors; CBP may inspect for spoilage signs leading to duty adjustments
• Differentiate from wild-caught via documentation to prevent blending with other freshwater species under wrong subs
