Import Tips
• Obtain Lacey Act declarations confirming legal sourcing, as required for all fish imports to prove sustainability
• Ensure packaging prevents moisture loss or contamination, with clear 'not frozen' indicators for inspectors
• Watch for mislabeling as 'trout' (0302.41), which has different subheadings; specify whitefish genus
