Import Tips
• Verify CITES compliance if species like common skate are endangered; obtain health certificates from exporting country
• Maintain cold chain documentation to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and avoid reclassification to frozen fillets
• Label accurately with scientific name (e.g
• Raja clavata) to confirm Rajidae family for customs clearance
