Import Tips
• Ensure invoices specify 'fillets' (boneless meat separated from carcass) to avoid whole fish classification
• Comply with EU or U.S. import bans on certain sole stocks if from restricted fisheries
• Use insulated packaging with ice packs to preserve fresh/chilled condition during shipping
