Import Tips

• Obtain CITES documentation if applicable for overfished species and verify MSC certification for sustainability claims

• Ensure proper cold chain documentation showing temperature below -18°C to avoid reclassification as fresh

• Declare exact species scientifically; mislabeling as Atlantic halibut can lead to penalties
