Import Tips
• Obtain species-specific CITES Appendix II documentation for Osetra to comply with wildlife trade laws
• Label clearly as 'fresh/chilled sturgeon roe' with temperature logs to prevent misclassification as frozen
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient FDA prior notice, which delays perishable seafood clearances
