Import Tips
• Obtain fishery certificates confirming sustainable sourcing and species to meet US import regulations for Gadidae fish
• Label packages clearly with scientific name and 'frozen whole fish' to distinguish from fillets or offal during customs inspection
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as generic 'frozen fish'; specify blue whiting to match exact subheading
