Import Tips
• Provide detailed processing descriptions to distinguish from offal in 0303.91; heads-on counts as whole fish
• Include ice glaze percentage in invoices (typically 5-10%) for accurate net weight declarations
• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits if destined for further processing facilities
