Import Tips
• Provide scientific nomenclature (Sander vitreus) and harvest location proofs to differentiate from marine perch species
• Include bills of lading specifying 'whole fresh/chilled' to prevent misclassification as parts or fillets
• Monitor for common pitfalls like partial gutting, which could shift to edible offal subheadings if not purely whole
