Import Tips
• Document cut style (steaks vs fillets) with photos or processing certs to defend against 0304 reclassification
• Comply with HACCP plans for frozen fish; test for parasites common in gadoid fish like cusk
• Label country of origin and catch method clearly; pitfall is vague 'whitefish' descriptions triggering audits
