Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'steaks' vs 'fillets' with photos in documentation; CBP distinguishes by bone/skin presence
• Test for histamine levels per FDA guidelines for scombroid species like tuna during import clearance
• Declare block-frozen vs IQF packaging as it affects duty calculation per net drained weight
