Import Tips
• Include finning declarations to comply with international shark finning bans and US import restrictions
• Label shipments clearly as 'whole frozen sharks' with weight and species to prevent reclassification as parts
• Monitor EU catch certificates for traceability, as many shark species require proof of legal harvest
