Import Tips
• Use NAICS codes for seafood processing on entry summary to align with statistical reporting for butterfish
• Maintain blast-freezing records showing temperatures below -18°C to qualify as 'frozen' under HTS definitions
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'portions' under 0304 by specifying bone-in structure in descriptions
