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
