Import Tips

• Secure CITES permits if from wild North American stocks, as some pike species have trade restrictions

• Document chain of custody from lake to port to verify freshwater origin and avoid saltwater misclassification

• Test for freshness with ATP swabs if requested; poor handling leads to rejection or duty adjustments
