Import Tips
• Provide moisture and protein analysis certificates to distinguish edible maws from industrial gelatin sources
• Use ISPM-15 compliant wooden packaging for bulk shipments to prevent quarantine issues
• Avoid declaring as 'fish stomachs' which could lead to misrouting to inedible waste categories
