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
