Import Tips
• Label with precise scientific species name and caviar grade to meet US customs and FDA requirements
• Maintain -18°C or below throughout supply chain to preserve quality and comply with frozen fish import standards
• Avoid pitfalls by pre-clearing with CBP for sturgeon origin certificates, as wild-sourced roe faces stricter scrutiny
