Import Tips
• Label with exact scientific name (Thunnus alalunga) and ensure CITES documentation if from overfished stocks
• Provide blast-freezing certificates to distinguish from fresh or thawed fish under different subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient traceability; use VMS data for IUU (Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated) compliance
