Import Tips
• Declare intended end-use as 'fishmeal production' on entry to qualify for potential processing drawbacks
• Use refrigerated containers with continuous temperature monitoring to prevent partial thaw reclassification
• Test for histamine levels even in industrial grade; high levels trigger FDA import alert
