Import Tips
• Label with scientific name (Esox lucius) and harvest date; comply with HACCP plans for chilled fish imports
• Use insulated packaging with gel packs to maintain chill chain; inspect for bone fragments to stay as 'fillets'
• Beware of over-glazing; excess ice can trigger weight disputes or frozen reclassification at entry
