Import Tips
• Source from CITES-approved farms with export permits to prevent customs holds on wild-caught Sevruga
• Use insulated shipping with continuous temperature monitoring under 4°C to qualify as chilled
• Declare exact sturgeon species on entry to avoid reclassification or penalties for vague descriptions
