Import Tips

Attach vessel logbooks or RFMO certificates proving sustainable catch quotas for overfished species

Avoid common pitfall of insufficient temperature logs; maintain -18°C or below chain of custody records

Declare exact species using FAO 3-alpha codes to prevent disputes over 'other sharks' categorization
