Import Tips
• Include fishery certificate of origin; sockeye from MSC-certified Alaskan fisheries preferred
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'H&G' (headed & gutted) without specifying species precisely
• Test for histamine levels; frozen sockeye prone to scombroid issues if not blast-frozen promptly
