Import Tips
• Include CITES permits if the shark species is listed; blue shark is currently not but check updates
• Label clearly as 'shark fillets' with country of origin and harvest date to meet traceability rules
• Avoid common pitfall of exceeding chill temperature limits, which could reclassify as spoiled or frozen
