Import Tips
• Aquaculture eels require farm origin certificates; distinguish from wild-caught for traceability
• Ensure proper cold chain documentation (below -18°C) to prevent thawing/re-freezing issues at customs
• Avoid packaging that suggests filleting; bulk blocks preserve 0303 classification over retail-ready
