Import Tips
• Secure EU or Norwegian export health certificates confirming no contaminants and proper handling
• Label clearly as 'ocean perch' to leverage specific subheading; vague 'redfish' may trigger audits
• Monitor for seasonal fishing bans that could affect supply and documentation validity
