Import Tips
• Use accurate scientific naming (Sebastes) in invoices to match HTS species specificity and prevent customs disputes
• Include HACCP plans and temperature logs for chilled status, as exceeding chill thresholds risks reclassification
• Check for additional country-specific quotas or antidumping duties on perch from certain origins
