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
