Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'fresh pickerel' with species scientific name (e.g
• Sander vitreus) for CBP verification
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 4°C) to qualify as chilled, preventing reclassification as ambient temperature goods
• Check for endangered species restrictions; pickerel is generally not, but confirm with USFWS if from protected waters
